theinwardlight:Poem from The Backwater Sermons by Jay Hulme. [ID “Jesus at the Gay BarHe’s here in the midst of it -right at the centre of the dance floorrobes hitched up to His kneesto make it easy to spin.At some point in the eveninga boy will touc hthe hem of His robeand beg to be healed, beg to beanything other than thisand He will reach His arms out,sweat-damp, and weary from dance.He’ll cup this boy’s face in His hands and say, my beautiful childthere is nothing in this heart of yoursthat ever needs to be healed.” /end ID] -- source link
