You're Doing Everything Right


As I glance in their direction…
I see motions and action…
I sense emotion and reflection…
The oaken glow of the polished pews is a distraction…
The murmurs I hear sound like a plea or petition...
And then the invocation...
A sombre transformation...
A sooth saying revelation...
The sounds around me evaporate like a chemical distillation...
I can only read the lips of my voyeuristic victims...
I can see their lips tremble with trepidation...
Then the moment of revelation...
He mouths the reason…For his mental bifurcation…
“The only thing you're doing wrong…is that you're doing everything right”
Silence...as if the instantaneous materialization of a vacuum...
I feel the tension…The fight or flight inclination…
It harkens back to a personal recollection…
Of loss, betrayal and exasperation…
The priests procession breaks my mesmerization…
I turn my gaze to the open book and focus on my redemption…
