Dance Floor’s Open
2 Corinthians 2.14
Nothing personal, but
be assured you’re invited.
Creator extends
blessing to every molecule in space.
Spirit rejoices in
the gathering of all, totally delighted.
Word Become Flesh
accomplished the plan, salvation’s grace.
Inclusion means a
zero tolerance policy for “religion’s bucket-seat”.
Abundant life has no
hedge ‘round or stifling moral squeeze.
Invitation to come
dance goes out clearly to all who hear the beat.
The joyful message
best noted in the inclusiveness of morning breeze.
‘Tis not our
dance-floor, nor our invitation process;
We are invited guests
expected to attend with gusto.
This moment’s the
only one we have, let’s process.
Bring one, bring all,
meet on the floor, heigh ho!
Jesus constantly
confounds those of exclusionary bent.
His arms surround the
entire creation in loving embrace.
His mission: God’s
love; justice; peace; heal sin’s rent.
Each beloved of the
Creator touched freely by grace.
Never fear the lack
of joy or an infectious beat to follow.
Spirit knows each
one’s way, provides song to meet each need.
Pause this very
moment, breathe love’s air, fill the hollow;
Creation’s dance
continues abundant, sustaining crop, weed.
Feel at ease during
the dance, take breaks as needed.
Slow dance with
intimates, rock out with new friends.
Stay attuned to love,
compassion, justice seeded.
Our brief lives count
to God, Trinity sets the trends.
Wall-flower moments
will occur so tremble with fear.
Feeling alone,
forsaken, unwanted, part of the deal;
Word Become Flesh
will meet you, he’s ever near.
Just be true as you
can, learn to be real.
Sisters, brothers I
hear the next set starting.
Come out to celebrate
this day’s fine events.
Work up a sweat,
dance free, joy imparting.
Life joyfully lived
means no worry over dents.
The Rev. Ronald Allen Melver, M.Div.
