Mark Escobar Poet Narrative

Mane Nobiscum

Somehow sadness makes me think
Of all those who’re sick and abandoned;
with other people around
whose health becomes
an edge over the rest.
A thing wealth, a great gift
that they can brag about.

Unfortunate as they may be,
Across the changing contours of this world.
But deep in their hearts,
God is with them.

He, who knows how they go through
with their sufferings and pains;
like a change of texture and of pace
their cries, oftentimes, glued to longing
that someday springtime begins
with a miracle of hope and healing.

Relationships in the course of living
Articulate the call and invitation –
‘Stay with us’ even for a moment.

Note:

Mane nobiscum.  It means in Latin, “Stay with us.”
