Spirit

like a kitten,
      the Spirit gently
      kneads our souls
   awake;
like a dog,
      the Spirit pulls
      the covers off
   until we crawl out
   from under layers
   of warm apathy;
like a child,
      the Spirit pesters
      us to turn off
      our devices, to
   go play outside
   with creation.
