Immanuel

                                                                  

Having just attended church services,

I meditate on the pastor's words,

Taking inspiration from implications he illuminated,

About Jesus and the meaning of His Hebrew name,

Immanuel — "God is with us."

And whether He's the Lord's one Son,

Come as the Messiah

(As Matthew, in his Gospel, chronicles,

And Isaiah, in the Old Testament, prophesies)

Or merely a rabbi with unorthodox ideas,

I realize that my soul breathes a faith

That unites mankind, in a brotherhood of ecumenism,  

Including even an incomplete Jew, like me,

Who, some Sundays,

Quests for reconciliation, in Presbyterian worship.
