prayer in armchair
he meditated and prayed for harmony and peace
for justice and fairness to take their course
and quite naturally he still thought he knew for himself
what those concepts would mean and should yield
he had no choice in the matter however
so he let go surrendered and handed everything over
to his Higher Power who had brought them so far
had delivered exquisite happiness and ultimate joy
but also an unpalatable separation from his lover and wife
at the end of the dialogue he asked what God wanted him to do now
and the answer came promptly ‘continue on praying’
he saw intense lights and experienced some moderate fireworks
half pictures and faint images came to his mind
Munch’s Scream turned into Gaugin’s exotic beauties
as he began to sit in an armchair and read
the only comfy one that he owns is the one his soul mate had given him
which in his mind he had already disposed at charity for good
maybe he will keep it now as a gesture of the harmony he is seeking
