JML - PLOGS (2014-2023)
Cathedral Cross
Oil on Canvas, Jean-Marie Lee, 2011
JML-PLOGS poetic commentary is below
On the Wall
Lying in bed
Staring at the wall
I watched Christ
Come down
Reaching out hand
To lift a sister praying
I was in my room
Miles from Church
And not praying
Staring at the wall
I went outside—night
A rainbow at my door
Then awoke— morning
An exclamation appearing
Next to the crucifix
So— I continued staring
To say “thanks for the memory”
Or “thanks for the painting”
And that fall— a dream
Of blood marking
A cross on my forehead
It wasn’t ashes— red
Dripping down my nose
Marking a cross—
I kept writing— trying
To understand— WHAT?
What is He asking?
What is He saying?
And discernment’s
A bust— except
For writing— and
He got the studio
Poetically evangelizing
To write to God— is praying
To talk to God— is praying
To think to God— is praying
To BELIEVE in God—
Now that— just that
To BELIEVE in God—
Is transforming.
XOXO! JML
