Supplication Beneath a Summer Sky As far as the eye can see, Where waters and sky meet, Lies that distant shore Of sand, to forest I encroach forthwith. Blessèd be God’s creativity And welcome me With benevolence; To an undeserved rest At my journey’s end. Where now I sulk in shame, For claiming independence: Through wanton squabbles, I find I’m not invincible Nor wish to remain mortal. Take me for who I am: My mind, unstable, My character, questionable, My wants, excessive; My hope, forgiveness.

A craving to be accepted for who we are is constant until we become aware of who we really are as our authentic self; then all desire has no meaning. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings through your poetry, Dennis. Write ON! Bill
