The Pregnant Seahorse

See the pregnant seahorse:
Over cobbles he leaps and glides,
What others throw away so cheaply,
He cherishes and stows inside,

The Holy Spirit surges through him,
Flowing out freely out onto the page,
The once empty vessel is now reborn,
The bluebird flies uncaged,

Unplagued by fear and doubt,
Powered by spirit and zest,
The Kingdom of Heaven is Within You,
To renounce is to be blessed
