Long and Winding

Look out the window of your home watch small boys become big boys ~ ten years watch wait observe time moments go by slowly painfully time quickly you feel the rush moments escape swift cry grieve

I drink white wine and clear dishes after dinner I talk to my father in law who wants to connect 85 faithful steadfast living a consummate life of moderation at the mercy of time and a greater story

I trust that Mercy is wider and grander than anything else cuz life is a mystery I have been given so much let me not forget in my forgetfulness that remembering is the most important discipline let me be ever waiting for the mercy of the Merciful

Ever wakeful that beyond this time when the waiting the struggle to understand will be gathered reconciled held gently with resolve a remedy will be given and received

then all will be well yes all will be well
