OF A LESSER GOD

I placed you there
walking on water
while I watched from
distant shore
until,
I could not stand
lonely
and my fingers
dipped into the cool,
stirring calm awake

how could I know
the thin and level
of your plane
would shatter
in the rippling,
how could I know
the sea would not part
and you would drown,
simply a man
after all

so, I wait now
for the tide
and forgiveness
of my fault,
I wait now,
to be swept away
in the rise and fall
of a lesser god,
one I could have touched
all along

No one walks on water. All reflections shatter. All can be forgiven. Enjoyed
