Consecration—Conversion

by Lowell M. Durham, Jr.

From a place too hard,

I felt it coming like warm rushing

Of something wonderful remembered.

The stone slowly

It was more than birth or rebirth,

More a gentle, bright collision

of truth, of coming to be,

With the knowing and stirring of Spirit.

And from my conversion to my consecration,

Will the change be a brighter truth

That prepares for

My essential flight of spirit?
