The Gospel

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the GOSPEL which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

[Paul, writing to Christians @ Corinth, 1 Cor. 15:1-4]

Private Collection

I have known

and unknown

the gift of yourself

for so many summers now

that there’s no more need

to keep tab

of birthdays and holidays,

because even my yesterday

or your tomorrow

is no guarantee

that I can understand

you more.

It is enough that

my knowledge of you

remains a private collection

of endless beginnings

and a love that endures,

and I have no aim

no purpose

but what could take us across

the hills and valleys

of life.
