St. Francis died
almost eight hundred
years ago,
the homilist said
St. Francis dead? No!
He lives
in caring hands
and quieting eye,
in singing stream,
flaming leaf,
and flowering sky.
The death that separates
him from us
is so thin!
He moves among us
freely here,
unlimited by skin.
Sr. Irene Zimmerman Order of Saint Francis
