Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit, that elusive presence;
Who can pin it down?
Like a fragile butterfly captured in mid flight
and pinned to a cardboard.
Who would want to do that?
Or a pin on a map, marking a place;
Here it is; that's the spot!
No, it's not.
Rather like the feathery tendrils of smoke from a candle
weaving in and among us.
Or sometimes like the billowing clouds of smoke from a raging campfire
chasing us to and fro
or inviting us to bask in the light of the flames reaching heavenward.
