Sacred Rite - A Poem

Peder

Sacred Rite

They come from all over slowly

ones and threes converging

getting thicker slowly determinedly

as if candle bearing they might

but aren't thoughtfully trudging

reverently striding forcefully solitary

or sharing with companions

pleasantries greetings news

of the day children's school

drawings focused on their

thoughts or worries hopes

despair wishing content angry

for more or termination

here and now for evermore

to stand in lines of knots of

individuals calmly all sorts

not arguing not jostling each other

drifting in their own reflecting space

for once a peaceable humanity

forward to the table then the booth

to pull the lever in reverence

or give a yank let them know

or register hope for a future

with personal meaning and then

dispersing fanning out through an

exit back to life humdrum or

exciting feeling holding hoarding


one's own flame of knowing

one has participated again

in the solemn Rite


of Election.
