a holy communion

heat burns into my skin                            

my soul

the sun is fervent

hymns fill the stone streets

harmonious echoes, seep

into the humble homes 

hosanna, hosanna in the highest!

mightiest waves of thunder

flowing flags rumble

my beloved brethren, thousands

valiant voices of victory

veils of colors 

golden, silver, blue, showers

of rain, rain of blessings

the pitter, the patter

the laughter, my brothers 

and sisters

preparing the table so that 

we are able to commemorate 

His death, and what is left 

is to wait to take the bread and wine

and oh how divine, it is!

to be once again united with Him

a holy communion 

a union

burns into my skin

my soul
