conect11 writes:: " It looks like the scene of a crime,
like the scene of a war.
No chaos, or depravity
just the bodies of deflated, hapless men lying here and there.
I step outside
where it is raining
and the air is sweet.
A raindrop falls
into my open hand
splashing there,
soon I find that I am overflowing.
Rain comes from heaven.
“I have no protection against this!”
Against what?
God’s will?
I enjoy the rain immensely.
I am soothed, and comforted, and refreshed today.
I can lower myself down
and come from the window sill
when it is my time, and not until.
Eyes wandering the room
who are these people?
I’ve seen this man before.
I’ve said his name
with poison in my mouth.
And now he and I are moving this woman’s donated bed,
their symbolic failed marriage bed.
Who knows what scores of defilement
this lesser man accomplished?
I see him
and his ways
and I can tell you at last
this is the company
I do not wish to keep.
If this is the exclusive club I would have joined
I’m alright right where I am.
I have a purpose to fulfill
that God has ordained me for.
He has given me streams of living water.
He has given me the rain.
My world is in bloom and vibrant
and full of rich colors and scents.
It is not the world of hazy conditions and upheaval.
Because of the horizon
I cannot see as far ahead as I would like
only as far ahead as I need.
