Love Lies (attempting a villanelle)



Tomorrow will you lie to me
And dry my falling tears to dust
And set my shadows free.

Today you turned and cried to me
And dripped your promises to rust
Tomorrow lie to me.

Just yesterday you sighed to see
This image. You inspired my trust
And set those shadows free.

Yet any other night we’d flee
Where lies are gone and truth is just.
Why sorrow? Lie to me.

Tomorrow and tomorrow see
How lies have grown as ever must
The shadows yet unfree.

Tomorrow will you lie to me
While yesterday grows dry as dust
While sorrow ever lies and we
Like shadows are not free?

Easter Sunday Prayer

Law is the pit in the ground where we lie. Love rises up from the grave. Law is the mirror that proves we must die. Love takes our place and love saves. Law gathered stones all together for throwing. Love drew a line in the sand. “Let one who has no sin take up the first stone.” Law stepped away and love sang. Law hung my God on a cross on a hill. Love paid the price for my sin. Love rose from the dead and love weeps for me still. Love’s gonna change me. Love wins. Hallelujah!
