they called your day of celebration
an installation
but it was a consecration––
a planting of the sacred seed
into dark, secret earth––
an instantaneous revelation
of human light
they named you vicar
for your role in an ecumenical
bureaucracy––
but it is not a job
it is an opening
of the spirit of Christ
to pour your love & blessing
into a world that needs
changing––
you are a blessed
incarnation of the gentle
hands of Jesus––
touching the hearts of human
to set them free
