Holy Communion

Isle of Skye by Andy Ilachinski

Holy Communion

by Melissa Campbell

I behold your beauty,

as sun rises gasping for breath

in fascination

and wide-eyed wonder,

all captivated by your charms.

I stand in the chaos

of one thousand symphonies crashing hard

while your waves wash over

a hallowed crescendo,

and my soul burns.

I drink deep,

our Holy Communion catching stars,

as your light implodes

in the hidden dark of me,

and I thank God for thirst. 

I ride the wind,

in spirit bliss, flashing diamonds,

out where the ocean dips

and blue skies kiss,

and I yearn for more.
