Three o’clock sun on a Sunday
Filters through the window
It catches a mustard yellow vase
Throws a shadow on the white wall
A golden chalice is imaged inside the shadow
My mind drifts to the “Last Supper”
Then to this morning when I drank
The blood of Christ out of an ornate chalice
I think about my meditations
Jesus died a horrible death for our sins
Now He wants goodness for repayment
We are forgiven but have responsibilities
I think about what I can do
Stay active in the community
Remain involved in the churches
This is just local; it is what I have
I would like to solve world problems
I think I could if people would listen
And have the desire to follow my advice
I can support agencies that help the poor
The main thing is to be good
Quietly good as I help and give of myself
I speak alone. The shadow is still on the wall
It is dazzling and gives affirmation
To me on my ideas of goodness
