A poem I wish I'd written

"The Avowal"

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

~Denise Levertov (in The Stream and the Sapphire)
