"Good Morning, World!"

Why Don’t I?

The Tomato-coloured Couch 5:04pm

Why don’t I just think

about God the way

Everybody Else does?

How much simpler would My Life be —

My Writing?

Would I quit bashing My Head

against the proverbial brick wall —

Would I join the rest of Humanity

if I believed in creation —

How can I believe in creation when I believe

We’ve never NOT existed

& that WE are responsible

for Our Own Realities?

APRIL AFTERNOON

The Hawk Portico 3:28pm

Behind A Cloud Of Pinkish Hue

Our Sun Was Burning Silver Bright

The Cloud Dispersed Then From My View

I Embraced God’s Warm Delight
