What if

What if
those who fly
from the heavens should cease their angeling?
What if the King’s command
demands catch-up for lost Sabbaths?
What if the crown we are wearing for this time
is to reflect on our smeared, soiled lives?
Deflect the greedy smudge of mine.
What if this coronation year shows us our neighbour anew?
The Father’s wings are outstretched
The Son’s, once so, are now reaching forth
The Holy Spirit
breath that we long the world to breathe
passes through the veil.
Leanne Wicks’ obedience to Matthew 6:26 consumes most of her time, designing knit patterns and poems for the 300 bird species that are struggling to sing in Mallacoota, Victoria.
