Good Time, I Hope

x

God

May I talk

With you

x

My health might be improving

Just a little

By just a little

And I thank you

In part because

I want to make a lot

Out of a little

x

I want to ask your pardon

For my sins

Though really

I want to assume

Upon a doctrine

Not to have to talk them out

Remember things

With you

x

Or again assume

You know them

Anyway

And will excuse me

On my asking

Even broadly

x

Clearly

By tone

I think I’m wrong in that

x

But for your pardon

Even with my fractured approach

I thank you

And I love you

Have I mentioned that

x

I feel confused

About what’s next

x

I mean

I know there’s heaven

Though I don’t know

Heaven

But honestly I mean now

The now that I know

As best I know

And what to do

I don’t mean tired questions

Lived for decades

Without answers

I could grasp

x

I mean today

And for a little direction

Into tomorrow

x

Could you help me out

If I’m feeling better

With a little better-ness

What shall I do

x

Keep healing

I suppose

Try to bear

And wear

Virtue a little closer

Then to

Try to be positive

And send positive

All the while

x

That is

Maybe for a change

Keep doing this

x

Now

It seems

I hope

I hope I found a little something

This time

That had been piecemeal

Over time

And now should be

Seamed together

For a broader cloth

You might accept

For a flag

Or coverlet

Or on the table

Where we gather

To remember

And negotiate

Earth

Or

Eternity

x

You’ve been listening

Over years

You have been listening

I’m thankful

x

Even in pain

Your presence

For my life

Since when there’s void

There is too much

To bear

x

Well

Thank you

Lord

I’ll keep working

As it is

And feeling

Of your presence

More than doctrine

In my life

x

x

This is personal

And cosmic

It’s for you

All verse is for you

Food

For ingesting

Water

For the thirst

You maybe did not know

You had to have

Me

Too

All to have

In being
