Wind in the Bottle

O! Earthen vessel,

Hollowed out!

If you will stand with mouth agape,

And not force any words,

The Spirit Wind will come and blow through you.

Then you can distinguish how full you are,

Or, on the other hand, how empty,

By the intonation of the fluted sound.

And if you exist whole and without lack,

You will perceive only the silent weightiness

Of the supernatural doxology,

Resounding over and thru the waves

Of your transcendent fullness.
