Thanks, Michael. I enjoyed both reading the poem and your discussion of the form. As a very NEW explorer of poetry I love such experiences. Looking forward to more as I write and learn!

Thank you for this discerning work. This poem encourages a sacramental vision of life shaped by an eternal perspective—perhaps the most powerful witness we can offer as believers in this tumultuous time.

Great poem! And obviously timely - also very needed by myself, and others I am sure. I have to constantly remind myself to look beyond the visible to the One who actually can make a difference in our country, our politics, and to grasp on to hope that alone can come through Him. Thank you!
