It's communion... of another kind
where caffeine seekers can unwind
to drink in the sweet ambiance
that St. Arbucks provides.
As congregants both young and old,
we're seated close and thus are bold
to talk of life (latte in hand)
and taste the mystery.
We lift the cup and share our lives
in honest words that aren't contrived.
And if inclined, we all confess
our failures and our dreams.
St. Arbucks is a sacred place
where those who run the human's race
can sip the nectar of the gods
awake to what is good.
It is quite sanctuary-like
where mothers and their little tykes
can find a refuge from routines
while seated near the fire.
There are no stained glass windows there
but those behind the "pulpit" care
about the thirst we long to quench
and "preach" through what they pour.
What Cheers was thirty years ago
is now St. Arbucks. Don't you know?
A church where we are known by name
and feel like family.

| PO BOOKS BY GREG ASIMAKOUPOULOS |
Sunday Rhymes & Reasons
Published June 4, 2009
Sunday Rhymes and Reasons is a compilation of inspirational poetry by America's pastor/poet laureate, Greg Asimakoupoulos. In this, his third volume of poetry, Pastor Greg paints word pictures that portray both the struggle and fulfillment that define a life of faith. His repertoire of rhymes celebrate rite-of-passage occasions like birth, baptism, marriage and death as well as the major holidays of the church and culture. It is a volume that illustrates the poet's love of words and of popular culture. The author dips his brush into a paint box of hubris, humor and honesty.
"Gloria and I have been encouraged by word pictures from Greg's pen that have celebrated both our ministry and God's presence in our world." – Bill Gaither, Gospel music composer/performer
"Gifted poet Greg Asimakoupoulos is a dear friend of our family. His poetry blesses, comforts, entertains, and provides inspiration for every season of life." – Natalie Grant, singer/songwriter/recording artist
