Paradise Waters of the Gulf
Green
the confusing reverence of the place
the holy-waters of the gulf
white eucharist sand trucked-in sunday anew
and flowers ever fresh
renew the question
I watch clouds west
overrun
spilling sun
in the horizon
and comes rain each day warm
same time
same slow way
like the same song
then I think
such simple acts
as prayer hands together press
or happiness
gone to hearts reach again.
Unable to feel these overtures of sky and air and light yet
might I find reason here to live
if
at all
