This year,
the purple is
unnecessary;
the covering of the statues,
the desert atmosphere,
bare branches on the altar
and sand
in the holy water font.
It is not necessary
to contrive a season
of mourning.
It is not necessary
to manufacture
the tiresome, ashen, darkness
to get in touch with the reality of
my spiritual poverty.
I am there.

I am there too,
with you;
different circumstance,
mourning nonetheless
Holding you ...

Thanks. Its eerie how we go through similar things at the same time.
I hear you are there. Please hear me when I say you are seriously talented and deeply spiritual? I love how you go to the heart of the matter and yet are so understated.
Thank you for this. This mourning...such a human experience
and hopefully the precursor of a rebirth
Sorry. I did not really intend to go on and on. I do have these moments

Thanks, Linda. "hopefully the precursor of a rebirth." I agree. It is what I hope for.
