Or Lean Against A Wall

 without God we would have perished so many times before this;

each time finally

no longer at the turning point masquerading as the proverbial

death blow

looking back we see without question someone brought us back to

life when we were utterly alone from the world's limited perspective

times without number without the encumbrances

of witnessing crowds the asked for PROOF.

required by dubious friends and interrogators

the ones who gather evidence for the saints

in case a life lived for Divine love is not enough

of a basis for beatitude.

in any case it is true that

once more we stand again upon green grass

only knowing in ourselves the impossibility of it

the ever renewed and renewing blue of the skies above us.

can we reason by logic then there is no God.

if that is true then

who held us as we lay dying

every single time.and as we suddenly awoke.

who gave us wings

when we were too weary to put one foot down

on the pavement

or lean against a wall.
