A Tribute

Epiphany 2 - Year C

just when you think

folks have been recruited

plans have been laid

there’s another call

we are invited 

to step outside

our expectations

to detour

the expectations

of others loom large

and we choose

mutual concern or no

o - we might dither

look for more information

but ultimately

we choose

to choose a detour

and then to deepen it

can feel like a betrayal

of recruits and plans

to choose a detour

and then to deepen it

can open a shortcut

confirming recruits and plans

and so we choose

to make Thunderbird

or Yarden Cabernet Sauvignon

and are defined

water to wine

magician work

good wine

moves us on

so many calls

so many gifts

alloted activated

for common use

let us pause in life’s pleasures

raise a glass of good wine

sup sorrow with the poor

and bid hard times go
