poem - your proclamation we await

your proclamation we await

have you noticed

the Archangels have exited our realm

the times have called for a sabbatical

the gospels are covered in dust

creation has sought self-excommunication

and the gates of heaven have been sealed

the Father is in a timeless repose

Jesus sits in loving contemplation

yet the I Am has not forsaken us

the Holy Ghost has sought sanctuary in purgatory

Michael, what are the faithful to do

our hopes have been shattered

Raphael, have you muted your healing powers

will prayer restore them and penetrate the seal

Gabriel, will your silence pass quickly

your proclamation we await

let Jesus know His grace still flickers

let Him know that our hearts are not worthy

let Him know that we seek His rescue

let Him not endlessly rest

give Him a gentle nudge

whisper a distracting mercy in His ear

thank you,

joseph pede
