Love, a ribbon of light,

troubles me from bed and

out the door,

unfurling and

curling back,

tying me to my neighbor

Questions for Paul

Posted on March 25, 2019 by Timothy P. Schilling

When did you think,

when did you know,

and what did you see in the sky?

 

In loving memory of Fr. Paul Minnihan (1966-2019), who became truly the man God wanted him to be.

The mist you’re in

is light on the dirt

on my own window.

I’d clear if it I could,

to see you as you are.
