POETRY PROMPT: THE SINGERS WERE THERE
















Perhaps someone knows why

It is ever so
That the singers aren’t certain 
Where they should go
Or aren’t welcome
Or must wait for an invitation
To move from the shadows 
Of the congregation

I can only imagine the strength of the song
If the singers had all been
Where they belonged
And the singers were there 
I saw all of their faces
They were left, right, and center
Yet, out of their places

But, it became clear
As the sounds filled the air
The anointed were present
The singers were there!
And they raised their voices
From where they all stood
And they joined in the singing
As best as they could

For them, it mattered not 
If they were seen
Their motives were pure; 
There's a difference between
Calming broken spirits 
And giving a show
The singers all learned that 
A long time ago

So I smiled that they all came
So humbly they shared
There was just no denying
The singers were there
