Curtis Johnson Poet Rhyme

We And I

Like a gentle stream driven by the wind,
8 words came sincerely and cystal clear.
Some 8 months ago, the questions were,
"What now?  Where do we go from here?"

Indeed, I heard it clear and plain;
Not audiablly, but somewhere in my brain.
It was surely I who was asking the question.
It was a prayer for 'mission and direction'.

At first, I did not relate the questions to me.
As words to me, I did not clearly see. I deemed
It to be a question directed corporately,
But never meant for me personally.  But this
Early morn, around 2AM, the thought occurred
Again.  Although this time, the words came with
A little change.

Presently, the Word 'We' has departed, and the
Word 'I' has arrived.  It's like a word was taken from a song and changed everything.  It's like a new song designed for someone else to sing.

Conclusively, perhaps it is meant for both 'We
And 'I'.  Indeed, I heard it clear and plain and
Cannot deny.  Conclusively, the questions still remain; and the fact also remains that 'We' nor
'I' will ever be the same.
