The summer rain
was nearly over
when we left it
basking in the morning
of our love.
I know I couldn’t
show you all of my gentle
ways in six hours’ span,
and after chasing Christmas
halfway around my life,
hoping to find you there,
I’m about ready to listen
to the echoes of your
“goodbye.” Again.
I could only hope
that your touch and kisses
are the only pathways
into your secret self,
because I might need them later,
for you to take me back
to when only the two of us knew
that we had given each other
more than we had hoped to
receive.

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]
