SIMPLE CUPS BY MARY ELLEN PUTNAM, CSJ

SIMPLE CUPS
O, pain,
gnawing thief of the night,
distracter and
tormentor,
why me? 

O, fear,
malicious burning through my mind,
blinding vision
and judgment,
why me?

O, gifts
of pain and fear,
simple cups
awaiting awareness,
why not me?

Mary Ellen Putnam, CSJ
