Lent 34

 

I hope you find a place

It doesn’t have to be upon a

Tor, stone and tall and spare, near an agitating sea

(though we read some heroes like this)

It doesn’t have to be

A lonely place

And you may welcome others

When there’s an occasion

When there’s none

 

Be at ease, if possible

Sometimes life is contrary

Bring a drink, a few words from a book

A tablet and a pencil

Have the liberty to write

Whatever

(you be judge of what to keep)

 

Be in thought

And when you’re ready

Or before

Say something like

A prayer

In case you want to know that

Someone’s there

 

But it’s discretion all around

Be as alone

As required

Sometimes the way

To figure something out

Or simply be

 

To remember

Find out more

Of what we’ve been

Who we are

What is desired of

An audience of one
