Love In The Sanctuary
Love Finds Us Where It Wills
He sits up front at the side table
Waiting to lead out praise worship and devotions
Very serious as he pays close attention
To church duties and sanctuary proceedings
His colleagues conversing
On the next hymn, prayers of dedication and scripture declaration
She enters the sanctuary
Ethereal and quiet
Making her way to a seat bowing reverently in prayer
He sees her the moment she enters
His quiet smile tells the story
Of a man fully enraptured
By the damsel he seeks and desires
I smile knowingly
A silent observer of young love a’ blooming
I am seated several paces from her
Unseen as I observe from the corner of my eye
She looking straight ahead at the sanctuary pulpit
He attention now divided seeking to make eye contact
Alas frustrated that she doesn’t even cast a glance
He picks up cupid’s modern tool
I know not what he sends — a WhatsApp or snapchat message, an SMS
An emoji…
