Lenten Lament - #13

Lenten Lament - #13

How long?

The question lingers

echoing back from

piled up disappointments

discarded dreams

the rubble of might have been


How long?

That it is asked

suggests

hope is not

dead

not quite

dead


How long?

Still a spark

remembered 

relationship 

a familiar face

wet with

shared tears


How long?

a statement

of stillness

of waiting

of longing

beyond the 

moment


How long?

trust emerges

from under the longing

and leads the praise

joy in a minor key


Your lovingkindness

experienced in

the moment

or not…

the only sufficient

answer.
