Written

Roads are meant

to be traveled;

journeys, prayed.

It's not just the body,

or even the mind

that traverses these

deeper paths; it is

also the narratives and

all their characters.

There is but one storyteller

who speaks the truth

of who we are into existence,

chapter after chapter.

Creation is a love story

and we are all tiny couplets

of hope in each day's unfolding.

We do not know when

the story will reach its conclusion,

or have any idea how,

but we've been this author's characters

long enough to recognize

that mercy is the plot

and grace the final crescendo.

Write on!
