Beware priests writing poetry
Post for December 15, 2005
I know I’m no great poet, but I do love how poetry “break the rules” of language and allows meaning to slip in between the words. This one came to me during this past blogging lull:
RELAXING IN AWE
They say a writer should
write what he knows
And yet, as the current
of my life flows
The waters become still,
as does my pen.
Knowledge becomes unknowledge
as the mystery unfolds.
Only three things do I know:
Truth, for my youth
Love, for my heart
and Beauty, to contemplate.
Love, for my heart
and Beauty, to contemplate.
In this now, I choose Beauty.
Amen.
