Heavenly desires brought low by harsh cruel fate, a car crash,
Ugliness, interior, within, broken, beaten, battered, and shattered, ten miles of bad road,
Hurting, sorrow, pleading, where is the road I follow? Lead me,
Renunciation on the morning of resurrection, birds singing upon no path, a trail always ending,
Who knows whether he deserves love or hatred?
…though Thou wast angry with me, Thy anger turned away, and Thou didst comfort me.
…”Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is now far spent.”
…he took the bread and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them.
No one left, solitude, alone, perception, the Eucharist adoring, radiating, calling, healing, loving, hearts and minds made pure,
Words of consultation, calming, an old woman bedridden upon years, a century in the making,
Bright-eyed, reading, telling stories of youth, a rascally little girl recalled, innocence, prayerful, a spirit grateful, blessed with cheer, an example, a road to follow away from myself,
On into the Risen Christ, seated at the right hand of the Father, arise through, with, and in faith, hope, and charity.
