I dwell in
the house
of the Lord.
I dwell in this
sweet human spaceship,
another house of the Lord.
And I’m blessed
to live in this sweet log cabin,
yet another form of the House of the Lord.
I dwell in this community
With neighbors who plow
my driveway unasked,
postal workers who remember me
over blurred addresses.
I dwell in a community of the Lord.
And Tera rings and sings,
in ascension creating
a lighter house of the Lord
for all of us to dwell upon.
And we spin through the
darkness of space,
the Milky Way
laying a pattern in the dark
of one house of the Lord
for us all to dwell within.
