I welcome you once,
twice,
even today
under a plain April sky.
A touch of warmth,
a familiarity that stays
and remembers
your name,
when not enough
curtain calls
could have turned back
the hands of time,
just a reassurance
that you’d been waiting
for an invitation
into each other
for years on end.

The Gospel
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the GOSPEL which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
[Paul, writing to Christians @ Corinth, 1 Cor. 15:1-4]
