palm sunday 2020

in a way i do not understand

palm sunday this year jogs me into thinking

what it must be like

to see calamity 

and pain

and fear

and sorrow

and rending of the soul

coming upon us 

and not being able to do anything about it

except 

to drink from the cup

my LORD has drunk from the cup

who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross
so help us endure
