Of Love

Chilly September. Zipped-up jackets.
Only the winds are still zealous,
Only the whispers, hidden in brackets,
Will answer our pleas and tell us

That she’s walking somewhere among us
That her footsteps strike on the hour.
All the while, our bread grows fungus,
All the while, our wine turns sour.

All our churches are filled with believers,
Searching for Jesus and yearning.
And she waits and lures the receivers,
Whose preoccupied souls aren’t turning.

And we stand outside, simply dismaying,
We have recognized her in the mass,
And in whisper, to her we are praying,
“Won’t you please look at us?”

what a verse. i had to read it twice, and i always love that about a poem. it means that there are underlying thngs in between the lines.
an extremely good flow on this. i really liked this one.
i get distracted at church by the same thing...


Everyone's got their demons.
We all got somethin' to atone for.
