A Poem

I’ve not written a poem in a very long time. This morning I studied Psalm 133 in preparation for a sermon on unity for Sunday. So here it is:

   oNe: a psAlm

hOw swEet and lovely is unIty
the JOy and blessing of community

as he lowered me into john’s pool
the water flowed over my face
my Family sAw it flow
to thEm I’m connected in HIs place

the paIns and feArs of life
evaporate off thOse weEds
oh, the JOy that floods my soul
We stAnd, a FiEld frOm seeds

i carry yOu all my days
to each fork, my valleys of soul
with yOu i’m certain and safe
together HE makes Us whOle

hOw swEet and lovely is community
the JOy and blessing of OUr unity
