THE  MOTH

 

A tan moth is flying by

as I’m sitting here on the screened porch.

Is that it?

Is he gone from my life

as fast as he just flew in?

Did he or she do what they

were supposed to do?

I don’t know.

And by the way is there something

I’m supposed to be doing

other than just sitting here -

thinking - on a screened in porch?

I'M NOT HERE

 

Across the street ….

Down the block ….

Yesterday ….

Tomorrow ….

Last year ….

An hour from now ….

But right now I’m not here ….

I’m always

somewhere else.

I’m missing the present –

so I’m missing the gift that  is not mine.

BROKEN  BREAD

 

The broken bread

can unite us because

all of us have been broken,

all of us have been hurt.

Like last night a nasty word –

or that rejection last night.

Yet we stand with, around

and behind each other

at this morning Mass.

We move forward, toward the altar

to receive the broken bread

which brings us back together

again – whole and undivided –

one loaf of bread – one with,

around and in each other.
