MEDITATION OF THE DAY

 

Happy Contagion

Oh happy the discovery

of leprosy in me—

urgency it brought me,

pining for relief

in tension toward a remedy,

mysterious, unknown

though I knew it by its soothing

and cleansing to the bone—

not an ointment but a person—

his solace and his will

apportioned for a purpose—

I didn’t know how ill

till I felt complete recovery

issue from his hand.

Oh happy the contagion

that led me to this man.
