I am not a painter,
One of the weightless butterflies floating across a canvas
Wedding water and pigment to create new life.
Yet I paint.
I am not a singer,
One of the radiant angels raising crystal voices
Bringing worshipers near to the holy throne.
Yet I sing.
I am not a poet,
One of the priests taking mortals by the hand
Leading the way through the torn veil.
Yet I write.
Oh, taste and see!
Perhaps I am one of these fragile ones
Made mighty to imbue the world with a glimpse –
A single tile in the vast mosaic,
A single thread in the Master’s tapestry,
Holding up a mirror so that you may see
And take up your part.
