Prayer of Cleopas

Lord Jesus, stay with us, for evening is at hand and the day is past; be our companion in the way, kindle our hearts, and awaken hope, that we may know you as you are revealed in Scripture and the breaking of bread. Grant this for the sake of your love. Amen.

Wordless

I wish I could capture
This moment;
Put it in a little glass cube

So I could be reminded

All the time

Of the wordless Ecstasy

Of being in Your

Frighteningly holy

Yet

Encompassingly loving

Presence.

Like

Embracing a waterfall

Or

Lying safely between a lion's paws

Or

Sitting atop a rainbow

Without falling through...

But still I am wordless

And need

To resort to

Comparisons.
