Go within his gates, giving thanks.
Enter his courts with songs of praise.
Give thanks to him and bless his name.
Psalm 99:3
We are gathering
like broken light
on the rims of glasses
we will raise
to all being,
at the moment,
poised and hushed
in our simple prayer
breathing out
over the chalices
of offering
and table of grace;
into the one, long song
love is singing
us through.
Cynthia,

DeleteI have read this a number of times and thought I'd commented already... but obviously I hadn't! This poem absolutely shimmers. I keep thinking of the line "... like broken light on the rims of glasses..." I continue to thank God for your gift.
