I sang every song in worship,
Played my guitar to You—
Dear Lord, my Maker,
My Defender,
My Savior,
The Lifter of my head.
Hold me a little longer, I say.
Just five minutes more.
And gently, without a word,
The Trinity replies—
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—
“We’re not going anywhere.
We’re always here.”
Amen.

Introduction This is the first challenge entry that I have written since Vocal has fixed my ability to publish. I work during the night and came up with a hybrid poetry form, the terzareyu, a cross between terza rima and Senryū (川柳). Look them up for what the forms are.
