12/40 verse Lent from the Cross
This moment has wings, and I let it fly in the winds over our wars. I let it soar in the fires of human anger, pain, loss, withdrawals,
I lean them in the winds of change, watch how they re- arrange Us. These are the wings of Praying? I spread them ‘neath His skies,
His Eyes, looking down, bleeding an Emotion ripe with Blood. His Garden full of That. So this is what He bled at Gethsemane:
that Garden of tears. He drank a Cup Bitter with us.
I sit in the floor Here, resting my wings, am drawing the shape of His Silence. It has Arms and Feet, a Heart and Arms reaching me…
staring at how there’s so much to learn, unlearn from human dialects. We are coarse in our definition of True Love:
We are Refugee/ Hostage of our own need to be with Him: our own need to with Him. Our own need to be with Him.
