Moses Walked (+1)

You can’t think your way to faith,

all reason unadorned

 

Or speak to what is felt inside,

self-knowledge most forlorn

 

For those invested time must bow,

a legion unto one

 

As seas will part and bushes burn

—in rapture’s kingdom come

 

(First Book Of Prayers: December, 2021)

 

 

Muted & Alone

 

In the poverty of sound

hides a final goodbye

Mortgaging the silence

with debt to decry

 

A tenancy of sorrow

with melody banned

An orchestra homeless

—foreclosure at hand
