Endurance is for the living hopeful

Endurance is for the living hopeful
left by loved ones
‘mid cross-walk.
Endure:

in the intersection
of heaven
and earth
the

beam
is longer than
the horizon,
the sky’s spine greater than burdened shoulders.
Crucifixion is temporal;
resurrection—eternal.

Groans diminish within a minute
when

trip
       over
Laughter,
a patient
  spring
 hidden
         in
          the
             wild.

Surprise.
The prize trickles at your feet.
‘Mid the dirt, a limitless drink.
In the tic of a wink
dust-to-dust
becomes God with us.

Endure.
Endurance is for the living hopeful.
