canonized
(days for all saints)
a process for remembering
those who live the
faith
in a church that is
a canticle of memory
who slips out, unseen
after the formal part is
done
to work a holy thing that
none of us will
know
there is a record, maybe
doesn’t matter
we sense without consciousness
that something good
happened
and there will be re-collecting
of it in the sharing of
all our legacies

Lovely telling if All Saints and those Saints lost, now on heaven I think? Being as it’s 500 years since the Reformation I see glimpses of that in your poem. My Uncle, a Lutheran Pastor and his wife and kids had extra celebrations at the heir church and a big dinner. But they are a rural church so I think they celebrate more than Home churches in The city, at least the ones I knew of or have attended recently.
Cheers Christopher.

Amanda, cheers! And thank you for your terrific response. I think all the saints (small and capital S) are or will be in heaven. Fair reward for standing firm. I’m glad your uncle and his family and his church’s family celebrated the Reformation. Catholics continue to learn constructively from this movement, too. Yes, I was thinking of the event. This year we had five-hundredth Reformation anniversary followed by All Saints and then all Souls. And Happy November!
