Dreich Saturday

"It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD." Lamentations 3:26

we keep ourselves

so busy on this day:

rearranging the flowers

for the umpteenth time,

tuning instruments 

and voices for THE day,

rewriting the fourth draft

on a sermon which, in

truth, will say nothing new.

but

if we were 

to simply sit

in silence

in the shadows

wondering

hoping

fearing,

we might begin

to catch a glimpse

out of the corner

of our eyes

of the glint 

in your eyes

of what is about

to happen
