“Chairo [joy]
Is something,
The ancient Greeks tell us,
That is found
Only in God
And comes
With virtue and wisdom.
It isn’t
A beginner’s virtue;
It comes
As the culmination.
They say its opposite is
Not sadness
But fear.”
– Anne Robertson
Hospital mud
Air buds
Talking run
Quiet love
Encapsulated sun
Visit done
Moving chairs
Loud stare
Praise God
Justified life
We live
Freedom come
