All the Saints Here Gathered

  

"Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to
separate

the day from the night,

and let them serve as

signs to mark sacred times..."

~God

There were sacred writings

everywhere they looked

markings and unknown tongues

histories arcane and runic

queer and obscure

 

but they could not be mistaken for anything but

sacred

Holy

Set apart and gathering together

set apart for the sake of gathering together

for that

is what makes them

Sacred

 

Calling together

the beloved community

coyotes and sassafras aglow

and mortals and angels

and butterflies feasting

on the old soft Pawpaw fruit

and those in between and beyond

All called as

 

One

 

And there was nothing beyond the realm

of this Sacred,
One
