Above,
Soft voice speaks:
“Saint, why are you crying?”
“My heart has been wounded today
I’m hurt”
I say.
“Ah, tis so I see”
Says He from high above.
“Why is your armor in your closet
Today?”
“Forgot”
I reply shamefully,
Hanging my head in woe.
“I was in a hurry and had places
To go”.
“I see”
Says He from high,
“ Your mind and body was
Unprotected from the enemy’s wiles
And so,
He had
Access to harm
You. Dear Saint always be
Aware and your armor to wear
Each day”
Crown Cinquain/Dialogue
We smiled, chittering and chattering
As daylight filled with bright sunshine
Spilled upon us walking sprightly.
In the distance a lion roared
But the sound did not reach
Our quiescent ears
Dulled by sleep.
Our guard down,
The lion
Strikes!
Caught
Off guard
We scramble
To stand and fight
The enemy attack.
Unprepared for battle,
Head and heart vulnerable
To fleshly fear and worldly anger,
We attempt to vanquish our beastly foe
Unprotected. We cry out for God to help us!
