Save us!
on this day,
hosannas burst from our lips,
and bessings dance around us
while thorns
slowly twist
around our hearts;
on this day,
we eagerly strip off
our cloaks
to pave a gentle path for you
while we hide
grave clothes
behind our backs;
on this day,
we shout your praises
and welcome you
with open arms
while the Evil One
plants nails
in our souls;
on this day
and every day:
save us!
