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.
