cotton sheets, the moon that's full,
ponderosa pines, the tides that pull,
the holy book, the face of my daughter,
the birth canal, holy water.
desmond tutu,a tear slips through
kneeling in prayer, heart broken in two. crash of the ocean, wind in the trees,
st. joan's paintings bring me to my knees.
holy war, holy cow,
holy sex in the here and now.
holy child, a virgin mother
leaves the world a mess discover
silence. stop. write a prayer
push it between the stones somewhere
between the sky and a questioning heart,
a revered murmur helps me start
to complete the circle around we go,
talking fast and praying slow.

My friend, I think that holy is everything that can be classificated by "disaster" or "sacro".
But, they are going to these things if you think in this ways, understand. Good poem. |

..................leaves the world a mess to discover......................
a very controversial write.
but you've done it exceptionally well with just the right ammount of confusion.
I'm right in the middle of a new look at Christanity reading Robert Eisenmans book
"James the brother of Jesus" It's mind blowing what the bible leaves out.
I've written several poems on this theme you might like to try
Praying can't change the rules (my first)
I'm giving up on gods
Wrybod's Wrap.
Heavenly information
and a couple more
