The Lord’s House

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.
