Knowing What IÂm Looking For
by Maureen Glaudelooking to the question
of the one sure soul
I can count on to remain
beside me in life, to give
the company, empathy and understanding
I need
the listener who holds the answers
to all that I might ask
to whom I can be
fully and justifiably committed
would leave me
still struggling in a
void impossible for he or she
to satisfy
unless the hands
reached for, voice to heed
friend to walk with
designer of shared paths
come in the form of
The Lord or The Lady
above all.
I know He or She is the source
of all my answers

| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 08/23/04 at 02:03 AM Interesting, I think the Bible uses the male gender. Christ, on earth, took the form of a man. God is not gender related. God is Spirit! He or She as definition does not apply. That is what I think. Provocative poem. Expressive devotion. |
| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 08/23/04 at 09:22 PM I see this piece in its simple expression as having universal appeal in that it reflects what we all (he and she) seek in our own individual ways from a higher power, regardless it being a him or her. |
| Posted by Michelle Angelini on 08/25/04 at 04:21 AM Beautiful Maureen. Puts out the question of gender, but leaves the choice to individual beliefs, while the narrator reassures the "audience" that a supreme being is (there). |
