The Saint
THE SAINT
She stripped herself
of complaining,
that awful garment,
with a long train,
never ending,
out of sight.
She tossed
her arrows, guns,
hammers, rolling eyes
all aside.
Grabbed a shovel,
buried them.
In the dark of night,
she gathered the stars.
She pieced them together
and dressed herself,
a child of day.
Her face lights up,
an ethereal countenance,
a presence felt,
not unlike Moses.
People gather outside
their tents,
to see her arms and face
lifted toward heaven.
Some bathe in the baptism
of the sunlight,
worshipping alongside
the saint.

Philippians 2: 14-15 (NIV)
Do everything without complaining or arguing,
so that you might become blameless and pure,
children of God without fault in a crooked and
depraved generation, in which you shine like
stars in the universe...
