Ready

By John Blase | November 7, 2014 |

I wake again to this chancy,

jumbled affair wondering if

today will simply be more of

yesterday’s news or if something

terrifying might happen, like

being visited by an angel announcing

“You will conceive and bear a song

that will from this day forward

be sung soft over each who dies,

a necessary requiem to ease the

soul across the brief stint of doubt

that lies just before the benevolence.”

Either way, Lord, I rise ready.

Good reminder that we just never know.

  We just never know, do we, Michele? Thanks for stopping by.

I love this, John! Do you know? I have 42 pages now of poems you’ve written that I really like. 🙂

  Peg, your comment caused a big grin to find my face. Thank you very much. 42 pages? Wow! Might I ask if you have an absolute favorite?

    It’s like this, John. For every one I read that makes it into that file, I think, “This is my favorite!” I couldn’t pick just one. You have a gift! Thank you for sharing it with me.

    By the way, you’re the ONLY poet in the blogosphere for whom I have a file (other than my own poems, of course.) Have a blessed weekend and keep on writing. 🙂

“I rise ready.” Amen to another ‘chancy’ day.
