When Praying To Walls ...

A hole in the wall

Once held a nail

Once held a picture frame

Now just a hole.

A hole in the wall

Once held a nail

Once held an icon

The Mother of God with Child

Prayers became shouts

Became silence

Deafening

Blinding

Crippling

Mutual.

On Becoming Like God

Taken upward from once highest peak

Broken. Head over heels

To the top we pass

I see a shimmer

Lost somehow in all that's here

No instant would suffice

Left

Left

Lost

Right road

I've been here before, am back,

only to return

Have you ever been

Beyond beyond, and beyond?

This is that, and some

Uncommon union

Mystery upon itself

More is found, none lost

This memorial

Of so great a redemption,

I am full for once

I am full for good

Such as not known through food

This is different

Too close to be near

So much further we can go

Become life, from Life

Frustration I make

Mistake it would certain be

Parting is my choice

Thoroughly know new,

Life,

You

Advantage to being, draw near

Make event of life

Life as livelihood

Healthy from angles not known

New you is truly you

I like your smile friend,

King,

God

I receive with all my me

In you,

That which I truly am
