JESUS CRIED

                                                                         (NASA photo)


Jesus cried
            Jesus died
                        Jesus never coming back

Who we are
is who we’ve lost

Grief is a hole
that never gets filled

The time we stay
never as long
as the time we never were

never as long
as the time we’ll never be

Time is a hole
that never gets filled

Surrender is the gift
given by defeat

All victories are marked
by losses

Anger is a hole
that never gets filled

Jesus cried
            Jesus died
                        Jesus never coming back.

    Thank you - that's really something. It also made me think that there's a poem by Samuel Menashe that maybe is linked in the ether somewhere (via ethernet) -- and that would be this:

    Now

    There is never an end to loss, or hope
    I give up the ghost for which I grope
    Over and over again saying Amen
    To all that does or does not happen--
    The eternal event is now, not when
