the book of exile continues...

a reading from the book of exile
chapter fifteen
a distant land beckons
no needle in the compass
silently we climb to risk it all
to fall
a reading from the book of exile
chapter sixteen
our cell of solitude …. deep within
suffocation instead of sanctuary
the silence screams
a reading from the book of exile
chapter eighteen
we want to skip this chapter
but tears bookmark the page
freeze the scene
scream
turn the ragged pages
to find our place again
the story continues…
a reading from the book of exile
chapter seventeen
the landscapes changes
pink words are spoken by gentle voices
cleansing
centering
one holds the needle
one pulls the thread
one works the stitches
to patch the garment
….no longer dead
a reading from the book of exile
chapter eighteen
the leaves are still
wings of angels rustle
and the
darkness is filled
with birdsong
a reading from the book of exile
chapter nineteen
hope is born again
