(after El Greco & his Studio)
Rocks surround Him, closing in:
friends’ failure; betrayal; hatred relentless.
Fiat
voluntas tua non mea –
face radiant in surrender
He lifts to compassionate angel
bearing the Cup He accepted.
Tested not a fraction of His trial,
I am bidden bear my burden
to that door where He waits,
to lead me into Light Eternal.
