today
when i was walking
sand slipping between my toes
heels sinking
and lifting
legs moving me forward
people lined up in pews
eyes closed
hands clasped
throats thick with hymn
and they prayed
while they sat
sunday morning redondo beach
in the white and blue
steepled building
down the street from my house
i watched
neoprene clad surfers
wait on waves
i watched
dolphins flip
through the gleam
of sun
a flicker-dance
on the water
i watched pelicans
and gulls dive
for their breakfast
i know it might be corny
to make such a simple
comparison
my church
to theirs
sometimes truth
is just that simple
