Aridity

Aridity


What’s with prayer Father?
My mind is everywhere else
Can’t get started
Distraction at each turn.
 
Oh I have been,
Am, will continue to be,
Watching out for you
We are family.
 
But I tell ya
I have missed us.
Your quick run to me.
Your frank utterings, Son.
 
And all those other issues
Side-eddies
False gods
Left you dry, alone, no?
 
I will come back
Father, help my shakiness
Undertake for me.
I hate this!
 
You’re talking now
Aren’t you, Child?
It’s already begun
The homeward trek.
