Durable – A Poem by Brandon White

Hello Friends,

After a lovely weekend spent in the shade of great pines, I can’t help but feel a bit out of place as I try and reenter the flow of life as I know it—a kind of hangover. I’m sure there’s a clever term for it that I’m not remembering. Oh well. I have for you today a free verse piece inspired by my reflections on the previous week. I hope you enjoy it.

Durable:

The sunlight shining through 
this pint of beer 
reminds me that church 
can be held anywhere 
two or more assemble

I have faith to spare
in what's proven durable,
like this love of ours.
This immutable spark between us 
that threatens to set any room we share

to burning 
in a blink


-Brandon White
