The Novel and The Eternal
The last in my prayer/poetry series. But not the last in my prayer book. e-mail me if you want to get the rest. I will snail mail you a copy for free.
The novelty of my has long since worn off
At first the Kingdom of Heaven felt like the Magic Kingdom
But now I see past the fairy dust and I am satisfied
The Mouse offers nothing more than a feeling
It's a whimsical repackaged nostalgia
It is fleeting and absent of substance
The Eternal Kingdom is found in the margins
It is wrapped in the ordinary
It is with beggars outside of coffee shops
It is in the wrinkled hands of the elderly
It weeps with the hurting
It gives strength to the weak
It is heaven incarnate
In our charity and love we go beyond ourselves and participate in this new world
A kingdom without beginning or end
I pray that my life may be lived margins
