LOURDES

LOURDES
"Ave Maria"
         the gentle words
               fill my soul
I remember watching the miraculous water
       tinkle in the lighted dusk at Lourdes
winding pathways of flame marking the processions
       the mothdark softness of the earlyevening
         the glimmer of white statue in the
           frowning mystery of the grotto.

the sputter of dying candles
        and the peace of a new-found faith
           gently touched into life
                by the even gentler virgin.
