FROM THAT SHINING SHIELD OF GRACE

Folder: 
JOURNAL #29

gazing upon a window near

the mind even farther than usual tonight

saunters clear

my reach cranes her imposing wishes

yonder a for

as longing swallows that last gulp of

bitter bruised pride from folly's jar

looking at the world this way

gives the world the right to look just so

back at me

so polluted and evolved

both it would seem are we

care giver and care receiver

bound for a few dozen years

(perhaps less)  

to enter twine

in this space and form

such great depths filter to the surface

by the mere viewing of stars in their

innocent brightness born

such  an  angelic  color

God's grace shining down

from heaven's alluring splendor

upon man

God's own favorite earthly fawn
