Consummatum Est


I might consider life,

had today never been,

just as Sisyphus' stone.


In my children I'd see,

had today never been,

a cruel perpetuam.


Nihilists creed accept

had today never been,

Epicurus embrace.


To grasp at pagan roots,

had today never been,

and pass as Denethor.


But dark clouds filled the sky

when today was

and sacred viels defiled


So now consider life

since today was

a gift of sacrfice


Breathe deep hopefullness

since today was

and "consummatum est"
