Lighting a Candle in the Sanctuary

Lighting a Candle in the Sanctuary

 

 

the news is pertinent

hemorrhaging fear

a picture

a sound

 

a heart in decay

limps across a screen

shoes are bigger

bones are crisper

 

stitches unthread

but only in his soul

there was a heaven once

when he sat in a hard wooden pew

 

now there is just a question mark

at the end of his sentence

which might find its period

sooner than he thought.

 

as he swears

that statue is staring at him.

dear Jacob... with out-stretched arms, she welcomes us to
the universe of Love and Charity. The Light of Candles will create a Place where many
will be honored to be an Instrument of God's Peace. softly, Pat

I believe in the Holy Spirit… and we all have a Spirit… perhaps someday we will know how our Spirit is part of the Holy Spirit; otherwise, I am in the dark… so I do burn Candles 🕯️ and 🙏… pray.. Amen .. Pat
