I am an inadequate saint -

unanswered prayers

diminish my faith.

I have too often

knelt at the altar

of your disregard.



My heart is devout

but my mind

given to doubt

the authenticity

of a modern god

oblivious to mortal need.

_



So is self-centered silence

suitable cause

to really renounce you –

my devotion

dependent upon

individual “rules”?



Of course not.

You’re merely being a boy

- as am I -

a MAN

who has anointed your feet

with tears of fear and inordinate greed.



Indeed I am not a saint,

nor you a god -

yet the love that we share

IS sacred.

So hear again my simple prayer :



call me, just call me!
