Today's poem is The Kingdom by R S Thomas, which is easy enough to find online, for example here

The photo is a building bearing the inscription.The Glasgow Eye Infirmary' - a hospital where people would seek the restoration of vision.  Nowadays the building houses specialist sexual health services, a range of routine and crisis support for the people of this city.

Thomas's poem employs the image of the Kingdom as a hospital, where true healing is found, and a single green leaf as symbol of faith.

The prayer:

God whose governance defies human understanding,

As we gaze into the mirrors of our own hearts and mind

Help us to glimpse again the vision

The vision of healing, wholeness, hope and harmony...

And renew our faith, so that it is as simple as a single green leaf

Amen
