A Field of Hopes

People waiting in the field to catch a hopeful sight of some experience
Or one who’ll meet them there that night.

From Medjagoria where folks roamed through the ragged stone, to farms
And lands in U.S.A., seeking to atone.

They came in droves, stayed in the rain to get a certain sign.
A determined lot who’d wait and wait, with one thing on their mind.

Angelic visitant, they sought, or Mary, or some being.
While understanding their pursuit, I question, “Where’s the meaning”?

Did not a gathering occur, in low another field?
Some shepherds hailed angelic sight and knew their hope was sealed.

They met around a person who’s still alive today.
Why settle for a substitute when Jesus is the way?
