As She Moves

As She Moves
(a poem)

There is no
     predicting
     controlling
the movement
of the Spirit
     neither
          where she goes,
     nor
          where she calls
          us to move.
She is
     not static;
She is
     dynamic;
She is
     full of power
as she moves.
No one
     can set
          her limits
     "You may go
          this far,
     but no farther."
No
She soars
     unfettered
     not bound by
          creed,
          orthodoxy,
          practice of faith.
     Religious structures
          cannot
          will not
     hold her back.
Her whirlwind will
     find
          a way,
     make
          a way
where once
     there was none,
And
these dry bones
     live
through her
     power,
     strength,
     will to breathe
          where she chooses.
There is no
     predicting
     controlling
the movement
of the Spirit
     neither
          where she goes
     nor
          where she calls
          us to move.
Nevertheless,
     she persists.
