Remembrance: Last Eucharist with my Father
The loaf is split,
The wine, poured;
Remember
Time and eternity will intersect
In ways you least suspect,
In rare moments when veils part
And for a quivering instant, you will know
You have glimpsed something that is real,
Some transcendent life;
And yet as you reach to touch it—
As you will reach to touch me—
It will resolve again into Itself,
And only this will be left:
Memory, and wonder,
And the hard questions—
