The Big Top

The tent.

Built as if for

Performing circus animals

Is full

With an expectant

Audience.

An audience not waiting

For acrobats, clowns

And prancing animals.

But waiting

For the presence of God,

Of the Holy Spirit.

Waiting.

For Him to move

As the crowds raise

Their voices in song

And dance

And clap

To their God.

14^th April 1995, Skegness, England.
