There are spaces

and cracks in our lives

where love seeps in

A rock is split

in the freezing/thawing places

of a Minnesota field

Powered by persistence

water-life breaks stone

by just being there

Penetrating and seeking

as the world turns

in the crevices of life

Tenaciously brave-hearted

in rain and snow

unrelentingly supple

No matter

how hard

the other heart-

There are spaces

and cracks in our lives

where Love must slip in . . .

Even if we are faithless

Christ remains faithful

for He cannot deny Himself.

Sometimes

I just hear better

when the rocks say it

God’s Love never fails.
