We want a sign
sent specifically to us
to tell us which way
to go,
we want to feel
lightning-like bolts
in a soulmate so
we know,
we want to see
with our own eyes
that there is a god
and more to this life,
yet we do not look,
we stay indoors,
fixated on windowless screens
behind closed doors,
and all the proof
to fulfill our wishes
comes and goes
without witness…

Thanks for getting me off my butt. 😉 I took the dog and walked a mile to the top of the hill and back. I feel much better. 🙂

Hi Laura, thanks for following my latest blog 🙂 Your photography and poem are Glorious! I had just come in from taking the trash to the dumpster–and the dusk horizon is a poet’s dream! So I’ll be writing/posting a poem later 🙂 God is the Supreme Artist–paints a new and lovely canvas each day, I’m so thankful (and hoping He’ll refurbish me as well).
