CHRIST IN WINTER: Reflections on Faith & Life for the Years of Winter

FILLING THE PLACES IN BETWEEN      [Sa, 7-11-20]

I fill the places in between

with song

a scrap of melody will do

a song from camp or hymn

from church, the opening

of a Sousa march

or just the stinger

at the end

between great thoughts

when washing up the dishes

from the night before

or taking out the trash

or on my way to heaven

I fill the places in between

the thoughts and memories

with song

John Robert McFarland
