Poems

THE THINKER

Lone , solitary astronautRising through stratosphere of thoughtIs testing, proving, climbing still,Eliminating space untilNo more bemused by mortal mind,He leaves old ways and modes behind.
Had I this gift—the clever turn of phraseWhich stirs the fallow heart and sows the seedOf Truth, then would I rise and speak of waysThrough which His dear love answers every need.
