Good Friday, 2019
GOOD FRIDAY, 2019
2019
( … 18 … 17 … 16 … )
Hardly a cloud in the sky
No need for this jacket
I discover too late
Uncomfortably
A tiny discomfort
In the scheme of things
Dwarfed by Spring’s bounty
Overall not a bad day after all
A good day for a crucifixion
Despite all the discomfort
Faith, hope and patience
All’s well that ends well
After all
After all
Refuge
REFUGE
I take refuge in the spirit that surrounds me
I take refuge in the spirit within me
I take refuge in the path I am travelling
I take refuge in my companions on the path
I take refuge in the spirit that surrounds me
I take refuge in the spirit within me
I take refuge in the path I am travelling
I take refuge in my companions on the path
I take refuge in the spirit that surrounds me
I take refuge in the spirit within me
I take refuge in the path I am travelling
I take refuge in my companions on the path
Adversity
ADVERSITY
This one’s for Audrey (and many another).
I hit the road
It hit me back
We paused a mo
Now here we go
Inverted Commas
INVERTED COMMAS
Words like “trust”
Like “faith”
Like “acceptance”
Come to mind
For “We” are
After all
Simply ripples
In an unfathomable ocean
Clanging Cymbals: Sevenling
CLANGING CYMBALS – A SEVENLING
Life takes its course
Demise a constant threat
All things must pass
Questions pose themselves
We tender our own certainties
We fight and murder over faith
In truth we haven’t a clue
Miss Jones
MISS JONES
We lost one another somehow, lost our way
In a trick of the light in a mist in a maze
Gasping, grasping, grappling day after day
As seconds turn into minutes, hours, days
So long, so long by some cruel fate kept apart
Yet memories glow in my mind, dear old friend
And it’s chin up, stand firm and never lose heart
For some day we’ll revel together again in the end
Genesis Recalled
GENESIS RECALLED
In the beginning? …….. God
Created the heaven and the earth
And the earth was without form and void
And darkness was upon the face of the deep
And the Spirit of God moved
Upon the face of the waters
And God said, “Let there be light”
And there was light
And God saw the light
…….. That it was good
and God divided the light from the darkness
And God called the light Day
and the darkness he called Night
And the evening and the morning were the first day
