Stay with us, Gentle Savior.
Linger at our bedside for
we are always dying and
it is hard, so many days,
to live in acceptance of death
in acceptance of loss and
change, in acceptance of
the transience of this life.
Your day may be coming —
and oh! what a glorious day
it will be — but to welcome
your advent is to confess
the sun’s fading, the moon’s
bleeding, the hospice of
the earth and all we know.
So stay with us, we ask you,
through death and into dawn.
