Poem for Christ the King Sunday

Reflection on Christ The King Sunday

By Terry Kyllo

Vision of the world

Vision of me

Oh how I long for you

To touch and taste and see

And yet you call me to seek and strive and search

With a peace that passes understanding

And sometimes passes me

You call me to stand in faith in this two-thousand year time of birth

To feel the pangs

To resist the tantalizing tug of despair

To sweat in hope of you

Vision of the world at peace

With all gathered at your holy table of abundance

May your reign come and fill the world with joy

Until then teach me hope

Until then teach me to be human

Until then teach me to stand in the circle with my sisters and brothers

Until then, be my vision

Until then
