The Avowal - Denise Levertov

 


As swimmers dare
to lie face to the sky
and water bears them,
as hawks rest upon air
and air sustains them,
so would I learn to attain
free fall, and float
into Creator Spirit's deep embrace,
knowing no effort earns
that all-surrounding grace.

Before His sweat of blood, her bleeding and tears. Before His offering, hers. Before the breaking of bread and death, the breaking of her body in birth. Before the offering of the cup, the offering of her breast. Before His blood, her blood. And, by her body and blood, alone, his body and blood and whole human being.

Holding up her sacred child, her God in the form of a babe, she said "Receive and let  your hearts be healed, and your lives fulfilled  with love, for this is my body, this is my blood."

Even in me.
