Holy God

Holy God
Holy and mighty,

Holy Immortal One
Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy,

~Fernando Ortego “Trisagion”
On this day,
I begin the dusty journey
into the darkest ash heap
of my soul, confronting
my limitations,
my temptations,
my inability to think of myself second,
my acknowledgement that salvation
comes from no work of my own.
Have mercy on this head bowed low, listening.
