Veil between lifting,
Disappearing in darkness.
Angels, enlighten.
Oh, angels of mercy and of love, be with us as we grieve and tremble in the terror of darkness. Cast your light our way, lead us in to Love and understanding and forgiveness. Give us a sense of your peace, let us see your long view, let us feel the comfort of your arms around us. In the name of Love we pray.
Plants watered again
Green and lush and firm and strong
Returning to life
Watching the eggs boil
Darkness. Light still far away
Ash Wednesday again
