THE SECOND WORD
"Today You Will Be With Me In Paradise"
Luke 23:43
Every death
births its questions,
in silence, rage or fear,
what awaits beyond the labors of love,
the fullness of grace;
Peace in its completeness.
The last tear wiped away
by God,
no small thing for those whose cheeks
are no stranger to them.
All shrouded now in mystery, in dream,
to hold a lover's hand and look, look deeply
and wonder what will be
when today becomes today
in paradise.
