Ordinary time

Counting the weeks of ordinary time, which are really anything but ordinary.

I like that Ordinary Time
Is green
A space of Ordinary Time
Between Epiphany
And Lent.
It varies in length
Every year.
Then it comes again
To welcome in
The summer,
Continues
For a long time
A long time
Until Advent
Purples
Blues
Its way
‘til Christmas.
We get Ordinary Time
The green
Of Ordinary Time
For long stints
So we learn to recognize
The goodness
The pure goodness
Of ordinary.
