Tether

+

You disguise us in flesh

As You did Jesus

Bodies tethering us to Terra Firma

Lest we fly

And forget our charge

The land-locked souls

For whom we are here

We are The Smugglers

of Your Image

Formed in us

Breathed in us

The which we bear into a world

Who is Longing to know

What You Really look like

Unlikely purveyors of Providence

We are found in just as unlikely places

 - As You always were

As You always are -

Not always in pews and pulpits and parishes,

More often in pubs and dog parks and sacred places of the sort

We move quietly among them

To deliver the Goods

To tether their spirits

to Heaven

"As He Is, so are we in this world."

1 John 4:17
