Confined in a Molecular Orbital
trying to write a love poem
about a guy feeling locked up on New Year’s Day
phone rings
can’t talk right now
the pen is ink-less and blank is the page
trying to write a love poem
about a guy feeling stranded today
watching TV and drinking eggnog
trying to write a love poem
about a guy feeling marooned every day
the gray sun’s about to set
silent drummer is the mind
can’t find words to bring in love
*
Five Loaves of Bread and Two Little Fishes
when you give away
all that you have
you’ll end up with more
than you’ve ever had before
(related Scripture: John 5: 9-13)
