Connected
The reason
Why your busy ambitions
Amuse,
Is connected to
The reason
Why I sit outside this evening
In an old lawn chair,
Fanning away insects
And the gentle breeze of thought.

The Chosen
God has been good to you,
You say,
Helped you succeed,
Helped you prosper.
I wonder why
God pays so much attention
To you
And leaves the prayers of so many millions
Unanswered?

I Go With Them
In the early light she asks me
For protection from the world.
She prays for her family,
For her innocence,
For her tortured soul.
She moves closer to me.
She calls me father
But holds no clear image of what I am.
She wants to be a saint,
An artist,
A wealthy woman.
Her little boy shouts
Mommy, it’s today!
And they are gone,
Plunging into a freshly painted world of play.
I go with them.
