Air Is Never Empty-a poem

CHRIST IN WINTER: Reflections on Faith for the Years of Winter… ©

Tragedy and pathos should not walk
hand in hand, the way strangers
do as they approach the gallows
where even an unknown hand
is better than a futile grasp
on empty air

Yet air is never empty

Tragedy is deep
and pathos shallow
one a pit without
a bottom, one a saucer
full of empty air

Yet air is never empty
