Role Models
When the Gods cohabitate,
Rocking the celestial fields,
They create all creation.
Should we do anything less?
You scream, “Oh God!” and tell me
This is heaven.
Did we awake to a world we made anew?
Great lovers in myth and history
Were tortured in their love,
Willing to trade now for eternity.
Is their lesson a measuring stick
For our temporal circumstance?
Could we grab eternity
In the smallest fleck of time?
The Blessed Virgin, rewarded for her trials
As mother, rises from the stable floor
To the Throne of Heaven.
Should I expect less for all the diapers,
Stumbles, wounds and losses
Than a son of God?
