THE YEARNING OF THE DARKNESS [T, 9-22-20]

 

CHRIST IN WINTER: Reflections on Faith & Life for the Years of Winter



The darkness lingers

longer now. It has

waited all the summer

for this chance to claim

the day. I can hear

it chuckle in the night

bird as it sees me

shuffle with blind feet,

feeling along, not seeing,

the way it is in day

light, the darkness

not hoping I will fall,

just happy to be included.

Even the darkness

wants to be a part

of the day…
