Today's sermon starts with dark rainy skies
barren trees and puddles at my feet
and a walk in a mystic fog with geese
honking, communing with the flock
and a lone goose who has been de-flocked
because she is unable to fly
Today's sermon is about a red-tailed hawk
carrying messages to the sky-world
it's about a small white spotted owl
reaching out in a dream the night before
it's about a snicker-doodle dog with
caramel eyes that warm the soul
Today's sermon is about grief and loss
that seems to fit the gospel of the day
it's about a friend who is always there
willing to share your sorrow and joy
it's about a broken hymn that needs
a new chorus to mend the heart
Today's sermon is drinking warm tea
and reading shapes in leaves
and writing poetry without preaching
leaving crumbs of your thoughts
and ends with prayers that tomorrow
the sermon will be filled with light
written for What's Going On - Today's Sermon
