Uncharacteristically Impromptu
I was so serene in thinking
when I visited today that tiny space
that lives in my mind
when words of tragedy and despair
become daunting just to hear
so I escaped to my special place
so lost in thoughts as the tide
of the ocean comforted me there
yet to be called on from my seen tranquility
which so contrasted twisted frowns
and I spoke without thinking
but the words came not from me
as if in rote ABC's as I wondered
as if I was speaking in tongues
and I felt the spirit move as I was on the
verge of a prayer..... and I simply said
AMEN, by the grace of God go I
