divine mercy

a heart breaks and reaches
out,
grasping at air for a hand to bring
it back to safety
before the whole bridge comes tumbling down.

but the hand laughs and slaps the other cheek
before walking away.

the heart falls deeper
and deeper
drowning in dreams and blue eyes,
drowning in hopes and fears,
drowning in unmet expectations
and misunderstandings.

she fades
into the darkest shadows
but only here can she see the Light
that raised Love from the fall.

For the sake of his sorrowful passion, have Mercy on us and on the whole world.
