Martha, Martha – a Haiku poem

I wrote this Haiku poem after an arid session of Contemplative Prayer.

 


 

Distracted today

Do-lists, goals and objectives

I can’t pray deeply

 

After three weeks of

Highly active ministry

My prayer life is gone

 

Knocking at the door

Outside Teresa’s castle

Used to be inside
