I Saw - An Ode To The Pandemic
I SAW
I saw
Elbow bumps and sanitiser,
1.5 metres, ropes, and yellow x’s.
Studio sound & lighting as
Priest became Presenter.
I saw
Bulletins delivered weekly
Bulletins online.
Phone calls being made to strangers
Church Chat and Livestreaming
Meetings held on Zoom.
Facebook and Youtube,
Everyone united for a cause.
I saw
Families walking
Traffic at a minimum.
Working from home.
Spiritual Communion
From Bundaberg to Rome.
Closed doors
Entrance and Exit only.
I saw
Front-line workers
Compassionate people.
Concern for each other.
I saw
A new way of being Church
Opportunities and creativity
I liked what I saw.
I saw
New possibilities.
Will you see?
