First Sunday in Lent, 2021

Sonnet

I will establish my covenant.
No thing of the flesh will be swept away.
This will be our own government.
Whilst we pray.

We have only to create our own ark.
The waters can wash away our fears.
We need never fear the dark.
Or shed unnecessary tears.

If we we search his ways.
And seek his paths over the years.
We can be held in his gaze.
And avoid dread fears.

Remember his promise.
It is ours to miss.

Haiku

Remember promise
Covenants made for all time
And just for us now
