While Seated in Church During 
the Sermon

by Diana Kincannon

When I shall leave this earth behind
To fly through heavens blue,
I’ll claim a cloud and name a star
And look around for you.

We’ll visit where God’s garden is
And sit amongst the crowd
Of seraphim and cherubim.
We’ll sing God’s praise aloud!

Then we’ll say a sweet farewell
And walk beyond the grounds –
So into effervescing Love

Where Wisdom deep abounds.
Where visible/invisible 
Are brewed in sacred play,
And the laughter of the angels
Makes the night glow bright as day. 

A tilt-a-whirl of planets
In galaxies thrown grand,
The cosmos a great carousel,
A riot madly planned.

In joy we’ll fly and play and glow
In service to the One,
The true, the beautiful, the good
Supreme and holy One.

— Diana Kincannon started writing poems as a child (Oh lovely, lusty robin…). Retired in 2014 after enjoying careers in singing, theatre, and business, she’s glad at last to have time to explore the art of poetry through study 
and writing.
