WHAT HAVE WE BEGUN?

What have we begun?

What have we done when we pray like this?

When we play like this?

Can we ever know-the seeds we sow-
the lights we show-the dreams we throw?

Playing like kids in dangerous places
quietly burying atomic seeds (hidden graces)
radiation kingdom come
What have we begun?

And here we see angels burn like the sun
here we juggle destinies
what is this thing we've done?

What passion finds expression when wounded soldiers pray?
What army gets commissioned kneeling in this way?

What hand is writing on the wall
what wonders hem me in?

When we lit that three way candle
what fires did we begin?

Are nameless heroes rising tomorrows chosen ones?
Carriers of Jesus what plague have we begun?
