A Poem To Sit With
The Solemnity of the Ascension
May 17, 2015


When he had said this, as they were looking on,               
he was lifted up
(First Reading).                 


The Halo Persisting


A holy time
a sacred time
a time of grace

a holy time
without fear

a sacred time
without worry—
a time of grace

no terrors can
be imagined
now—here

for this time is

a holy time
a sacred time

a time of grace
