Church is good
Church is fine
If you’re looking for
White bread and red wine
(Too dry and sweet for my liking)
Rather, for me…
In a Sunday morning cup of coffee
Swirling amber peace
In a poet’s inspiration
Simple and pure and true
In my Life’s hand across the table
Fingertips lingering in the divide
In a brisk noon walk
Dry leaves whispering encouragement
In the journey of five hundred pages
Life, death, love and loss in each turn
In the dusk’s gentle solitude
The peace of a yawning day
In the music of friends
Toasting universal bonds
In heaven’s voice, humming to the stars
Promising the grace of a new Tomorrow
…is where God lives.
