committee

in the warm summer evening we gathered,
sharing our celebrations and concerns.

of what was and of what is
of what should and of what might

we dined under a perigrine's sky,
with fellowship blessing our banquet.

twilight called us from delight to duty
and thoughts turned to tomorrow

stop and go and turn around
this and that together

a pleasant consternation passed by
and everyone reached up together

the whisper of god is in such meeting
when purpose and plan become one
