A Poem For The 25th

Jesus, peace be upon him,

And Mary, the cloistress

the spirit of Truth

and the Mother of gnosis,

Glad tiding to those

And to their closest

Who remember these two

And Muhammad and Moses

Abraham and Jonah

Daylight for the hopeless

Peace be upon them

By the number of roses!

And the generous host

And magnanimous hostess

Say a warm, special prayer

For the weak and the homeless

The wandering Gazan

Who roams with the formless

In the West Bank and Gaza

Balm for our neuroses

Amen
