The marvelous moment

GORDON R. CLARKE

The me that is not me, struggles and strains.It thinks it sees a better way.Most often well-meaning, rarely merely stubborn,still it presses hard in its direction,but never really arrives—inevitably disappointed,never quite satisfied.

It pauses, listening, looking again—praying.And there's the marvelous moment!
