Woodpecker











The woodpecker
knocking so insistently
on the tree branch,
reminds me of you, Jesus.

Just like the woodpecker,
you knock insistently
at my heart,
asking to be let in
so that you may
dwell inside.

Like the soft wood
of the tree, I will
open my heart to you, Jesus,
so that you may live
within me forever.

Amen.
