It is the day following Easter Sunday 2023 - I apologize for not touching base with you on a most blessed day in the Christian calendar. And such a blessing it was ........ to be back in church! We attended the Hunt Methodist church, Hunt, Texas, We will be moving to that community the end of this May.
It was a wonderful worshipping experience and the music, the sermon, the physical church was beautiful and we plan to return. My desire to be a part of a community is unfolding. Thank-you, Jesus!
To celebrate His Resurrection, His Salvation and His Loving Kindness in All situations I give you the following poem. I am currently, this month of April, celebrating poetry by participating in NaPoWriMo. This poem was written in response to a prompt that required twenty steps. I never made it past the first step seeking a metaphor.
Metaphorically Mesmerized
I went down a rabbit hole looking for a metaphor
and never found my way out, I shout
Hallelujah.
The number one item on prompt’s #8 list
I tackled with vengeance, trusting
it wouldn’t take long, then found
The Song.
I listened on YouTube to variations in verse
searching for the buried metaphors
I decided to immerse
myself in Hallelujah, its connotations,
variations, Cohen’s lyrics and voice as
hours passed, still down there
loving every upload, every interpretation
I finally threw in the towel, woke up
this morning ….singing Hallelujah!!
