To The Poets Stumbling Blind

God's own children stumbling into language
are we half-blind, self conscious, stammering
laden with impediments of our own making?

never mind, He wants to hear it all

through His great craving ear of
sheer pearl. waiting...

to Him, it is music though we quarrel among ourselves.

making our own distinctions.
to Him, it is song. He Is without ranking

whether it is a sun breaking into myriad

jewels on the Infinite waters.

or not.
