    The Cosmic Battle So-Called

    Lord,

    I am not sure I have ever done lent well,
    or correctly, though I have the desire.

    How I fight change, the shedding needed
    to grow new skin, more supple and open
    to your infinite light.

    Sometimes I feel like I am under a rock,
    not wanting to step into the all-revealing light,
    yet you prod, push, cajole, and won’t let go,
    of that I am thankful.

    For my fear is automatic,
    my inner walls built before I could reason,
    only you see what is behind them,
    though the walls seem to remain.

    Yet you work from the deep inner-under-ground,
    and sometimes I feel that going on,
    I get anxious then, but slowly you are teaching me
    it is then, that I am called to pray, to be quiet,
    and do not run, for you never stop chasing me.

    Is the Cosmic-Battle, or so-called, actually worked
    out in the mind? One soul at a time? If so, let me put on Your Mind,
    the Mind-Of-Christ.-Br.MD
