You and You Will Be There

x

I haven’t mentioned you

Today

Though you are intertwined

Threaded

Through everything

Like gold inside a tapestry

Running to be seen

Or rediscovered

Later

x

You were there

Of course

You were

Our time alone

Is really for companionship

And when things are like Fatima

Well

That’s obvious

But when the world is busy

With phenomena

Broadcasters don’t find you

To interview

Preferring mortal leaders

And settling

For pundits

x

Well

How may we ask questions

Of an invisible God

On the scene

Or even chez lui

In a church

Or temple

Or where you’re really home

x

I guess

We can’t take our wires

There

Until we can and may

Maybe at Megiddo

Maybe at the gates

Or just inside

For justice

x

Given a chance

To know the words

The one word over

Under

For salvation

Ticket

For a journey

To the other side

North

And south

And west and east

Of Eden

With new promises

Across the world we’ve known

Pushed

Riotously

Perhaps

With celebration

And good humor

Among angels and the saved

New grace

New creation
