Ash Wednesday

Your first night in the desert, Son of God
the stars trembled at every glance
recognizing as no man had
the heart you had disguised as man
but man you were as well, and glad
for silence, for every step
your father showed you by the starlight
you had commanded in heaven
A rock, some even ground
was all you found
following the Spirit where it led
and you lay down, and shut your eyes
as the stars wondered overhead
