A Fallen Petal

Ascend …

Finally recognized on the road to town,

The strangers are no more,

But rather friends of the most intimate type.

Breaking break together as the artist and Jesus hold another meeting,

To be finished in another place.

Always together …

Artist David Wilkie painted “Supper at Emmaus” during a trip to the Holy Land, intending to finish it on his return to England. He died during the voyage.

Standing, crookedly, at the bottom of this foothill,

Placed temporarily, as space was readied for a higher location,

On the mountain above;

Which never happened.

In sorrow, a labyrinth was made around,

Making me more of a destination,

Despite my sad, sacramental state,

I await the attention of the Church who placed me here.

So, I may illuminate their lives with joy,

And change this verse of lamentations.

To one of light.

From the Life of St. Francis of Assisi

Nature is listening once more,

Each day treated as the unique moment it is.

Perhaps worth a try today.
