Intercession – a poem by K.L. Johnston

Intercession


Pollen becomes 
honey through the 
intercession 
of one bold bee.

My prayers for you
fluttering throne-
ward like the dove
sacrificed, rise
translated and
presentable
only by the breath 
of the Spirit, holy.

My part in this 
miracle is
no greater than 
buzzing among 
blossoms and seeds,
obedient.
