Reckoning

I shall dig deep the hole

in which I hide my heart.

There it shall lie,

secure, safe,

and unscathed.

On the day that the master returns

I shall retrieve my heart

and present it before him,

intact, entire

and untarnished.

Oops, I got a week ahead of myself. This poem is a reflection on the gospel for Sunday 16th November. I am posting one for 9th Nov.
