bounty

give us
this day
so
let’s start
with that
and then the daily bread
to ask
then
the asking of
forgiveness that is
the gift
or mercy
plus
asking to be delivered from
where
we might have
been
by trap
even the trap of will
and let God’s be the realm of power
glory
we may not understand
and forever
that
we cannot understand
not yet
though we have will as well as need
to pray the day

I prefer Christopher in conversation. In writing, I use C L Couch because it’s a genderless form of my name and, frankly, easier—I have severe writer’s cramp. I mean to be a poet writing spiritual and occasional verse. The photographs used permanently here—for the banner, for my profile—were taken by Debra Danielson, a photographer and friend. You may enjoy more of her work at debra.danielson.org. If you would credit me when quoting my work, I'd be thankful. As I am thankful for your presence here.
