Saline grief
f
a
l
l
s
Between
strips of linen
The hasty steps
Of a breathless witness
White cloth draws
confusion and query
Why seek for warm bodies
in cold climbs?
Woman
why are you weeping?
And Why do our desires miss the mystery unfolding before us?
Deeper
than
the
earths
foundational
trenches
In the emptiness
In the quiet
Are answers
To questions unformed
More profound
Than the sum total
of life time
of dreams and desires
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark
Familiar cadences
bring comfort
and revelation
To tired hidden hearts
In the breath
Fear is cast out
benediction ushered in
And forgiveness
Becomes boundless
