A Poet's Wand

He pens the pensive lines That prick men's heart unease And cause some strands of hair To rise in fear of guilt. He wears no saintly apron But communes in truth with God To legislate on our behalf In glossy words that talk. He sees beyound our world He tells our uncertain future Like Isaiah, the prophet With unmistaken flair. One wonders who He is That heals with ink-therapy And like Jesus on the sea Rescuing the drowning Peter He strikes His thinking pen And men's eyes are opened.
