1st Sunday after Pentecost

John 3:1-17

Perched high in our protection
We search
Looking for that one
Someone
Out there
Who will give us
Almost
What we are looking for
Who will drag us along
On coattails
Of almost making it
And we search the crowd
Busy on its way
For one
--lover
----friend
------teacher
who will give us that edge
that way
--impossible as it seems
of fulfilling the desires
within
sitting here
perched up high
and finding nothing
in a world busy preaching
or not seeing
the ones preached
when the scene changes
--(God)
and a newness
splits the air
sucked into our lungs
almost painfully
filled with life
--(so loved the world)
drawing us onward
into the crowd
--(that Christ was given)
of life and death
swirling together
--(that whoever)
in search
--(believes)
of the fullness
that must come
--(lives)
from above
