The Vigil

Alleluia, Christ is Risen!!

I sang to the Light

Even as my eyes

Faded in and out

Even as I lost track

Once or twice

Lost the line then found it

Again

Made up an interval

Or two.

Still I sang

It was mostly Mozarabic.

Then I sat with the family

Listened again

To all of Creation

And then some.

And then some more.
