A Welcoming Hymn

The deeper you care

   the more remote you become

 

What the present reveals

  no clock can outrun

 

The past and the future

 for others to know

 

This journey one-way

 where only you’ll go

 

Those voices who call

  pull you deeper within

 

Not lost but alone

 taking flight back to Him

 

As Jesus and Mohammed

 and Crazy Horse knew

 

The path to true knowledge

 doubt ridden and strewn

 

With the old voices silenced

 new voices begin

 

As your eyes slowly close

 —to their welcoming hymn

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2018)
