A Chair

—Ronald j. Mahler

Tables’ mantling unequalled fair

Their settings sprawling, remarkable

Upright and wanting, is a single, vacant chair

Its placement among rows of the thankful

In a room majestic and perceptively endless

Voices meld together in wonderful flight

Love, like a prism, magnified and tremendous

Embodied in the One who sits in perfect light

Curtains rise, exposing a Banquet Divine

Dishes plentiful and elevating appetites

Senses delight in working overtime

Yet a single chair remains, void of its invite.
