Holy Now

Peter Mayer

When I was a boy each week on Sunday we would go to church

and pay attention to the priest,

and he would read the holy word, and consecrate the holy bread,

and everyone would kneel and bow.

Today the only difference is

Everything is holy now.

When I was in Sunday school,

we would learn about the time Moses split the sea in two,

and Jesus made the water wine.

And I remember feeling sad, that Miracles don't happen still,

And now I can't keep track because

Everything's a miracle.

Wine from water is not so small,

But an even better magic trick Is that anything is here at all.

So, the challenging thing becomes not to look for miracles,

but finding where there isn't one.

When holy water was rare, at best It barely wet my fingertips.

Now I have to hold my breath Like I'm swimming in a sea of it.

It used to be a world half there,

Heaven's second-rate hand me down.

But now I walk it with a reverent air, because

Everything is holy now.

This morning outside I stood.

I saw a little red winged bird,

shining like a burning bush and singing like a scripture verse.

It made me want to bow my head,

it made me want to kneel and bow,

because in this beautiful world,

Everything is holy now.
