Dennis Spilchuk Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Supplication Beneath a Summer Sky

Supplication Beneath a Summer Sky

As far as the eye can see,
Where water 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 do I wish to remain mortal.

Take me for who I am:
My mind—unstable,
My character—questionable,
My wants—excessive,
My hope—forgiveness.
