(For Beth 04-02-17)
Love leaves us full of fearful holes
Filled then with care just enough
To choose chancy brinks
Come to suffer us to serve
Filled then with care just enough
To choose chancy brinks
Come to suffer us to serve
Our maker and our fellow
Effort-fully we fill once more
Effort-fully we fill once more
Our Living Fragile and Holy Skin
To prepare for the uses of love
The exhaustion of loss
Leaving us all agape again
*agape
a- + gape, ....wide open, shocked, dumbstruck,
overwhelmed, surprised, ajar.
ah-gah-pey, ...the love of God for man and of man for
God
