The pastor, in the makeshift pulpit
at the lectern, far from the vaulted ceilings,
far from the stain glassed sanctuary
but that didn’t stop him, his joy overflowing
Speaking effusively, lovingly of time set apart
of vacation from work; but going on Sundays
A feast of worship, in a distant place
away from daily duty, cares of his own flock
when he could allow the Word, in worship
to rain down on him in a banquet, a feast of worship
drinking in the living water in many churches,
being fed, being nurtured, breathing in what he needed,
many traditions in a single weekend
Able to immerse himself in the healing,
the grace of the time in fellowship,
communion with the saints
gathered in worship
rich and ever new
