After Confession

July 26, 2020
By Sister Mary Christopher Esler, CSA

I am forgiven!⠀
I should be joyful,⠀
hilarious⠀
unconstrained⠀
with carnival joy.⠀

But I am not.⠀
I believe, I know, trust⠀
I am serene and at peace.⠀
-⠀
The grub in the cocoon⠀
trusts, hopes, waits⠀
in silence.⠀
Finally it is transformed⠀
in silence.⠀
If flies away.⠀
Its beauty praises God.⠀
Yet all in silence.⠀

(Is silence so bad?)⠀
