A preparation: up and down

Walk up the hill to the Trappist monastery

Walk down the hill to the Trappist monastery

Between walking up and down

We turn our heads

The sea

There

There the Sky

We see

We do not see

To see

Turn our heads

We need to walk up 

Look at what is behind us

Then slowly

We climb the steep staircase

And slowly

Prepared for us

We arrive

And slowly

We see

Lo and behold

From afar

The Trappist monastery

Much heard about

Never made it

Until years later

Walk down the hill

Says Father Anthony whom we happened to meet

On the way

Feeling not heavy any more

Going down

We arrive

Finally

In silence

Thank you 

Bernadette
