A Pentecost Day –
The sun’s shaft sent tongues of fire through the shadows
of the trees,
Painting red and gold bright with the expectation of
heavenly bliss.
The wind wound its way through the leaves,
dancing branches quivering with hopeful anticipation.
Like people reaching their final purpose,
after lives lived long and hard,
the leaves marched in procession
behind the banner of the Dove, the spirit of newness and
hope.
A
Pentecost Day. |

of teaching English to kids in the classroom, she has
come to love language even more. An Episcopalian from
the beginning, Judy belongs to St. Peter's Episcopal
Church, Bennington, Vermont, where she writes for the
monthly newsletter, reads Yeats, Dylan Thomas, and ee
cummings. "Poetry," she says, "is the language that we
all speak, the words that we all feel, the Spirit that
we all have."
