A fresh installment for Carpe Diem’s retreat: joy of light

 

XVI.

 

lenten days lengthen

light increases by minutes

joy of spring coming

open tightly closed windows

inviting fresh clean breeze in!

prince of this world

like a lion in lamb’s wool

sneaking, seeking prey

as one who would devour

 

we like sheep sleep

 

King of the universe

like a Lamb led to his

shearing, spearing, pray

to One who would ransom

 

sheep from death’s sleep

sweetest blood-red rose

comes weeping over city

bright tears, mourning star

dying bears love’s stigmata

risen in perfect beauty

 

lenten way

self-denial’s route

picturesque francais pathway

solitude’s silence

santiago pilgrim walk

to scallop shell sea

 

lent bent

Sometimes in church,

i’m filled with this wild

desire to run up front

and embrace the bare

over-sized, free standing

wood cross;  cling to it and

let everyone call me a

tree hugger.
