Intentional
Today I discovered that God
made the sky so high so that
all the big and small, beautiful and ugly
birds don’t thwack their heads on
the ceiling as they fly and swim about.
& that makes sense to me
because I can finally understand why
God made your smile so warm and kind:
it wasn’t so I wasted every hour
of every day thinking about the next
big thing I can do to see it, no,
it’s much more sensible than that.
It’s so every poor soul and every
lucky person that sees your smile
as you say thank you to the ticket man
when you board the train home from work
can understand that Heaven is real
and you don’t have to die to get a glimpse.
