Sunday Evening Looking at Houses

Sunday sermon on
    a crooked sidewalk
A homily of grace
    for each other.
The night a misty friend
    enclosing us in,
Its quiet street lights
    and lush green lawns,
Your footsteps chasing
    and echoing mine,
My footsteps Morse-coding
    back to yours.
I do not know
    what they said.
Some veil of beginning where
    expectations had once
Insisted on change but
wisdom acquiesced in peace.
A blessing to see
    you and feel
Your gentle hand
    touch my back
While we walked
    and talked and
Pretended to have answers for
    the mystery of
It all.
