When All Else Fails, There’s Always Poetry to Soothe the Soul

Here’s one


Clouds
 
almost touched myself today
 
            not far
            from the place
            that separates time
 
time and time again
clouds have seized me by the hand
              have bundled me off to the edge of the sky
 
            where the ice man lies
            where truth is humbled into stony silence
 
if you ask me
where the sun shines
I will point
to a hole in the heavens
 
there
beside the still, shallow pool
with your eyes tuned to God
you might gather your reflection
into a clarion bell of light
