When

 When 


When you are one of three hundred

Meditating in silence on Sundays 

In bright Quaker Halls all around Ireland 

And the other seven million 

Are happy elsewhere 


At times you question your purpose

And doubt your own sanity

For while numbers should never be taken

As Gospel but still you will wonder

Who’s right and who’s wrong. 


Is this lonely path for the few and

Not the many? For surely our God

Has called everybody?

But maybe our God is fragmented

With different colors like a prism 

Maybe all paths come together

And arrive at a point we call home. 


Perhaps it’s not really important

That we all sit down at an hour

In one room in a holy tower

God will find us wherever we are

Whether looking below or staring at stars.
