Lent is… — Zach Ford, UK

Lent is…
Bowed row of ashy heads,
Gentle service winding down,
In penitent reflection.

Lent is…
I give up this, you gave up that,
We laugh,
Over how long it will take until we fail.

Lent is…
Reading the same book together,
Talking over points,
Laid forth in prose,
Straining together to deepen ourselves.
But do not forget.

Lent is.
In the quiet of hearts,
That know a glory is coming.
