Conversion

My next door neighbor brought

a Bible over with lemonade

and homemade oatmeal cookies--

something to sweeten the gift

for someone who thought of

the Bible as a book of myths

Something happened between

the cookies and hikes in the woods

and drives across boundaries--

the myths became real and

interwined  with hammered 
dulcimer music and hymns
strummed on a guitar

Soon I owned a black leather Bible 

and a pen with the thinnest nib

and grew into faith
