slanted sunlight
through stained glass windows
as I pray hard ...
finally tired of me
Time leaves me alone
jab by jab
right hook after left hook
at its head
I shadowbox with God
in my last Bible study
unshackled
from my childhood beliefs
I'm a passing thought
in the mind of God
who forsook his son on the cross
tired and alone
in the sunlit pew in a church
by the roadside ...
for hours my heart-to-heart
with the Angel of Silence
FYI: The title is a paraphrase of German theologian, philosopher and mystic Meister Eckhart's prayer.

I find church boring ...
my Christian friend responds
in dappled shadow
his tough-as-nails-on-the-Cross
account of fighting cancer

Living in the Land of Promise
just a dream, and yet ...
the mountain lion roaring
to flocks of sheep,
once elected as your King
I'll be vegetarian
a dictator
on his "first day only" ...
in misty dark
the ghost of tomorrow whispers
Trump Forever, Trump Forever
the people of Trump
by the people of Musk
for the people of the SuperRich ...
sun-bleached stars and stripes
atop the Capitol fencing
surge after surge
of woke mind virus ...
wearing a crown
the Convicted Felon alone
in an Oval Office window
FYI:
The Telegraph, Feb., 7:
Let’s celebrate: Donald Trump is vaccinating the West against the woke mind virus
Whether it’s gender ideology or border control, the president has torn through years of bizarre, divisive groupthink in a matter of weeks
The White House’s official X account also shared an image of a fake cover of Time magazine depicting Trump in a golden crown, with the headline “LONG LIVE THE KING.”
And ‘woke’ just means you give a damn about other people...We must stay in community. We must help the vulnerable. We must find ways to project an inspiring vision of the future
