Ten thousand processed through Liverpool streets,
A Holy Body, Christ, IS visible.
Professing, confessing their faith in One
Held high - a spirit of penance and meets;
To follow Him now is a miracle,
The crucified Son - our salvation won.
What the reformers tried to discourage,
Our Eucharistic spirit made possible.
With passing of time, the Spirit to run,
To gather together: Host entourage.
Come, come!

- Comment from author about the poem: My poem “Ten Thousand and Counting” is written in a curtal sonnet, an eleven line sonnet form introduced by the poet Gerard Manley Hopkins, (abcabcdbcdc), and is inspired by the article “A Remarkable Thing Happened in Liverpool, England” by K.V. Turley (National Catholic Register, September 12, 2018).
