“Then an angel of the Lord said to Philip, ‘Get
up and go toward the south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to
Gaza.’ (This is a wilderness road.)” Acts 8:26
we are constantly looking for
those smoothly paved,
no-potholed roads
because we think that is
the way faith should be, but
we will find you down
the cracked streets
with the edge lines faded
and the sign bent or
completely knocked down,
for that is where the broken,
the lonely, the lost, the forgotten
travel, live, and are to be found.
