Thoughts During that Famous Light Collation on Good Friday

 

This morning I mowed the lawn, the springtime lawn

Then messed about with flowerpots and bees

In this little safe space of happy green

A shadow of Heaven beneath wise Plato’s oak

 

This evening I will visit Jerusalem

And follow timidly the Stations of the Cross

Not wanting to be noticed by Romans or Greeks

(Setting aside the fact that I am a Roman)

 

Time stops - with faltering steps and a contrite heart

A journey into the dark, and then – waiting
