TEMPLO DE SAN DIEGO DE ALCALAʹ

                                                                    (photo:  wiki)

i.

Worship
rises

from

kneeling hearts

Desire
becomes
faith

faith

ignites

love

Prayers
gather
prayers

and

devotion
returns
to
where
it
arose.

Yours

is

the

Sacred Heart.


ii.

Three grandmothers
kneeling
shoulder-to-shoulder

gray hair
braided
falling
to
mid-back

reach to touch

God’s
plaster hands

velvet hem
of its robe.

Everything
is
imagined

what’s miraculous
is real

what’s real
is miraculous.

Three grandmothers
shoulder-to-shoulder

stand
&
bless themselves

turn
&
shuffle

shawls
pulled tight

leave
faith’s gloom

enter

day light.
