[Holy Tuesday]

Island
-Langston Hughes

Wave of sorrow,
Do not drown me now:

I see the island
Still ahead somehow.

I see the island
And its sands are fair:

Wave of sorrow,
Take me there.

from Art & Wonder: An Illustrated Anthology of Visionary Poetry, selected by Kate Farrell, p. 91

:) I have the rest of Holy Week planned out (in terms of daily poetry posting) and I think this is the best of the lot.
