Poetry: Evening

by Peter Menkin

Comfort in Evening Prayer...

The familiar Church is open
and a regular comes to Evening Prayer:
delicious, memorable ways,
words that comfort.

Comfortable words bring
the sense of God.
We offer together
"yes".

In their homes, others hear
the silence of the hour,
not knowing yet knowing.
United in prayer, many say
the Office in solitude.

"Seek him who made the Pleiades
and Orion." <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
