The spirit swoops down like a bird

I think my vocation is sacred.
I keep seeing visions of God.
He’s like a bright light
Exceedingly right
I’d photograph Him if I could.

I have a calling to follow
I just do not know the details
I pray and I wait.
By yonder lychgate
Do vocations ever get into the Sales?

I would like it if I could buy one
I’ll give you the money I’ve saved.
Sell my idea?
My dear,no fear!
Just consider how well I’ve behaved.

Everyone has a vocation
To be who they know that they are.
Yet I am not me
Without you to be
Here in my arms by the fire.

I’ll get an answer tomorrow
As I dream of God during the night.
She will give me an image
And the much needed courage,
To go on till I see the Light.

The problem is one of translation,
For God speaks in symbols not words
Symbols are wells
in which truth dwells.
And the Spirit swoops down like a bird.

Why not find your vocation?
It’s possible whatever our age.
Attend to your dreams
and how yor life seems
Vocations will make us engage.
