First Public Mass after Lockdown
Come to me all you who labour and are overburdened.
For I am gentle and humble of heart.
My first public mass in three months locked in and abandoned.
The sermon is on the rules on social distancing, a tedious chart.
Shoulder my yoke.
And you will find rest.
What we yearn for is a spiritual soak.
Not Government guidelines burying the zest.
So I return to scripture.
Plain unadorned.
Always the victor.
Even if scorned.
Let me receive like a child.
For indeed your yoke is mild.
