Divine Mercy
Eugeniusz Kazimirowski, 1934
Painting in Divine Mercy Sanctuary in Vilnius

PLOGS BELOW (JML's Poetic Commentary)

Ease My Soul

There might as well be
Snow in my soul—
My thoughts watching

A black bird shivering
On an ice covered limb
This morning—

I lay in bed again
After eating breakfast
And examining the weather

Before getting up
My thoughts were unsettling
Interrupted by frantic chirping

I was decompressing
A conflict and sorting out
All the things left unsaid

Staring at the ceiling
Became a living prayer
And I faced the heartache

Wishing none of it happened
Wanting to have never been there
Clinching a grimacing frown hidden

In solitude for the duration
After— forgiveness begins
Divine Mercy eases my soul

XOXO! JML
