The old pastor

Just like doctors did do at a time
he visits people,
sometimes into the late hours of the night
and although he serves the word of God
 
he tries to help them
to get their marriages happy again,
he hear the complaints and sorrows
of people that have lost children, companions
and even parents to death
 
tries to find answers
where none does exist, in the struggle of man,
he searches for deeper meaning
and when he stands behind the pulpit
and rises his eyes to heaven
 
a person does hear, does experience
the fragile human being
which that old man has become
and you are aware of his brokenness
 
until the voice of God
starts speaking right through him
when he leaves people
in the tranquillity of God’s eternal and wide love.
