The glory of a misplaced Monday

The glory of a misplaced Monday 


eyes still shut my mind runs
the day - adjusting the empty
spaces - searching the smile to
send as you leave - and you will
leave - off to the doings of your
happy day - leave me the emptied 
uncoupled hours ... I, scurry scratch
penciled-in pretend usefulness, 
rough-scatter-sketch meandering,
minuscule,  meaning ... and then ... 
though I do not by nature nor faith
nor temperament practice the 
falling to the knees of many 
I fall to my knees in grateful
supplication - uncurling - 
loosening - breathing -
with unclenched heart
opening - opening - 
to this glorious 
gifted Sunday
when you are
here with me
after all.

  6. The sadness of this touching monologue is overwhelming. We often live our lives still sharing, talking, doing the same things that we once did when we had them with us. Grief is bearable when you can do that.

    as is in this place we experience humility
