Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

Something about standing there
in their presence, gathered
watching as we walked
into the sanctuary, outdoors

The parishioners of old
the saints who have gone before
as if they were seated on the pews
joining us in quiet reflection

Asking the girls to stay behind me
slowing entering in
walking the steps of these faithful
those who had formed this place

Reverently sharing
this space for praising God
sensing the singing of the choir
on this hallowed, sacred ground
