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]

After Midnight

Should we stay here that long?

You know the light fades

and softly escapes

and leaves no trace

of any path

wide enough for us both.

We waver.

We falter.

We go into the woods

and climb a thousand steps

to the top of a hill.

If you want more

I’ll read you some fairy tales

in an hour’s span

and bring you to the circus

to watch the clowns

we both love.
