My Father, God

I was ten years old when my soul was “saved,” and my daddy was real proud of me. I remember the golden shimmer that covered everything that hot August day, and I think now that it must have been the light of the Holy Spirit. That was all before I knew the ways of the world. Daddy had never explained that part; he just told me about the saving and the repenting for everything wrong I’d done.

Know ThyselfKnow thyself the prophet cried And to thine own self be true With no further guide than this To steer the wand’ring soul Each must find its own way To know the self that finds Meaning on the raining sky The quiet contemplation Of mud ‘tween painted toes Which does not feel, though does reflect In ever widening circle’s tones The self that sees it ever changing The world behind the glass Ends with no refraction And needs no image to direct A self that breathes in easy quiet That has never feared chill death And then, lonely spirit, only Know Thyself

I Want to ForgetI want to feel the kisses Of a thousand little raindrops I want to hear the wind Roaring in my ears I want to return to a faded glory Most of all I want to forget

I want to leave it all behind Please be kind, don’t remind Forgetting the years takes time Even healing can be painful Still I think it’s worth the while I can see the sky is beautiful (Again)

as they pass one by one seeking glimpses to the inner sanctum wondering if that eyebrow that lash, that unruly lock of hair the quirk of the old lady's smile hands folded neatly as she walks the shimmer of the gypsy girl's eye as she sways a All the Other Worlds

Outside Your DoorHere I stand again Hopeless fool that I am One fist clutched tight Around my fleeced scarf The other poised above my head Wrist trembling with potential Held in check by groaning weight Of the waiting possibilities I want to let it fall To let the twisting terror drain With the boom of my fist against your door Silence the mumbling voices That drift across the barrier It should be so easy To let gravity take its course Body swaying, follow the momentum But I can’t let go Once more standing frozen here Just outside your door A batt Outside Your Door
