After the Shower - v2

In the late afternoon, early evening

moments before the dusk

rain soon to come, getting ready,

mist falling in the still courtyard

of our busy church

doorway open, to the sounds within

sounds of the pipe organ

from the darkened sanctuary

bright song from the children’s choir

murmur of a worship planning meeting

just down the hall, heavy in thought

pearls and jewels of water on the blooms

life giving water on the petals, the leaves,

the stems of the iris, the wet rich soil

drink it all in, heavy with memory,

present, captured, after the shower
