There is the law, righteousness, and commandments,
When the law is forsaken….
When righteousness is not enough….
When commandments become hollow….
Inevitability, the passing of time, being human,
There is violence, sin and force,
When violence is spent, anger aflame, a burnt man walking….
When sin does not work, extinguished, moving vanquished and shamed….
When force creates intense internal pain, suffering and tears….
A desire to cease wandering, even in small ways,
There is always my Holy Mother,
Stillness calling,
Love revealing itself smiling, a Holy Spirit,
A resurrected Son exposing eternal wounds,
God remaining unnamed,
Grace.
