Let the Little Ones Come

Angeline Schellenberg

Look, here is water
and sunlight
on a vine,

what can prevent us
from filling
our cups?

Here is water
and beaten grains
left to rise,

what can prevent us
from admitting
we are broken?

Look, here is water
and dust
blown awake
by Heaven’s lips.

For thine is the ocean. Amen.
