the griever's creed


i believe Jesus still weeps

with the mourning ones.

i believe he is present

by the tombs of our secret

lazaruses.

i believe he offers comfort

not in salted words

('this wound will be well')

but in the salt of divine

and deeply humane tears.


i believe the rain before the bow

proclaims something, too,

as it falls on our barren ground:

God with us

God with us

God here, with us
