Lectionary leanings: Epiphany 2C - 'You were ever about joy'

'You were ever about joy'

The first miracle
was turning water into wine –
you were ever hospitable.
Social embarrassment 
ironically saved
by transforming water 
for washing shame away
into heaven’s finest vintage.
No holding back,
no half-measures,
jars full to overflowing
meant for celebration.
The first miracle
was a celebration of abundance –
you were ever about joy.
In a feast
lately flowing with wine
the glory of the kingdom
danced in,
singing merrily of 
life in all its fulness.
