A
Year and a Week
(November
remembered)
after
the song
boredom
strikes out
and
I fall
to
its temptations
not
minding the sermon
I
stare out the window
and
thank God for the sky
that
is all I see
thin
tendrils of distant cloud
foretelling
sunset’s richness
and
beauty
skylarking
birds, alive and free
soaring
in rapturous flight
exuberant
and alive!
and
my mind flies away
going
crazy with joy
over
all God’s given me
the
friends that share my life
my greatest reason to live
the
songs
the tales
the
tears and smiles
“Amen”
he
says
and
I return
aware
of you
beside
me
one
more reason
for
that crazy smile on my face
one
more reason
for
thanks
Written
in excitement for
a developing relationship
