what have we begun,
when we pray like this?
What have we done?
Can we ever know--
what seeds we sow
what lights we show
what dreams we throw?
here playing like kids
in danger places
atomic seeds
hidden graces
radiation
kingdom come, what have we begun?
here we see angels,
burning like the sun.
here we juggle destinies
what is this thing we've done?
what army gets commissioned
kneeling in this way?
What passion finds expression
when wounded soldiers pray?
are nameless heroes rising?
tomorrow's chosen ones
carriers of Jesus
What plague have we begun?
What dreamer writes upon the wall?
What wonders hem me in?
When we lit that three-way candle
What fires did we begin?
