Pillows

Rules, guidelines, and certainties

are pillows

where I lay my head

and feel safe.

In the night

He comes and asks

if I really share in His suffering.

The One who had no place to rest His head

and walked in heaven

and on earth

is one but three

is perfect peace

and righteous anger

who came to unite

and divide

was innocent

and still crucified.

This is my Lord

who bids me come

and accept discomfort

with easy answers

and comfortable identities.
