with happy discontent
unbelievable pleasure fills
this once so soured sage
making shear reason man enough
to tote a finer essence to life's
subtle stage
the director though uncertain
makes many a detailed note
of each unfolding scene
though some are all too often
replayed others remain virgin
to another season or just another day
who's script remains to be seen
such thespian like souls of living
get many his own elaborate separate say
as the token prop of the mentor tends
to scrape many an already sorely blistered
palm
yet, even so a single visit to the worship
hall
can create a soothing centered inner calm
for as we all very well know
the Lord works outward from within
and then
come Monday morning no matter what
the living in life continues on
by either spreading the word or perhaps
just keeping it to himself
as God gives us all yet another perfect
curtain call
one in which we almost all too ignorantly
try to respond
but the billboard in our hearts will
eventually read:
'The Spiritual Theatre' is now open
and admission is always free............
