The Vertical Life

A poem in response to Logion 52 from the Gospel of Thomas.

Feet planted.

Growing deep…

rooted down…

deep into the ground.

Hands up.  Stretched high.

Poking through the sky ceiling

and into the dark cosmos depths.



Body

stretched and ribbon long.

Face turned up.  To the Son.

Soaking in Love.  Peace.

Living a Vertical Life.

Come, Lord Jesus.


His students said,

"Each of Israel's twenty-four prophets
spoke about you."

Jesus said,
"You ignore the living one in your presence
and speak only about the dead."
(Logion 52)
