for the courts of the LORD;" Psalm 84:2a
not in the marble
corridors of power and wealth,
but in the hallways
of the hospice center.
not in the vast homes
and gardens of movie stars,
but in the rundown, weather-beaten
homes in every wrong part
of every community.
not in the arenas filled
with the privileged paying
outrageous prices for entertainers,
but in the quiet songs
by little kids in cooling bathwater.
it is there
in those least
likely 'courts' that
our souls will find you,
o God.
