Poetry

The In-The-World Christian

by Ed Mampel

Like Hamlet, at midnight,
Clad in suit and cloak of black,
Awaiting his father’s ghost to appear,
To begin his story:
So do I feel, in this solitary hour,
That there is something coming
To explain things,
And set me on my course.
I am awaiting The Ghost.

(Free verse inspired by “Christian Faith Is A Public Community” by Runar Eldebo)
