At the shrine of his own idol

The indictment, then as now
that we are all following
our own path
each heart turned inward
at the shrine of his own idol
separated from the Lord

We, like the people
the ones he first loved
needing to let go of the world
to seek ever the Lord
and come back to his embrace
the pouring out of his love

Striving to follow
to pick up our cross
to answer when he calls
to submit as did the Christ
to go where he would lead
