“Come again?” we ask,

meaning, “Please tell me one more time,

I didn’t quite catch your message.”

“Come again?”

Daily praying—without realizing it—

this earliest of all our invocations,

“Maranatha—Come Again!”

He does, of course, in daily bread

and Bibles, Sunday pulpits, tables too,

calls to love and duty, most especially

through this leaning forward season

when winter’s coat of white moves

greening toward Bethlehem.

The word is, “Come again!”
