Between these Lines
by Glenn CurrierWhen last I crossed these lines
tumbling one upon another
in regular rhythmic tracks
leading my crooked impulse
to the vestibules of your heart,
I was lost
tumbling dark corridors
obstacled and manacled
tunnels of my insane devices.
How is it that between these lines
I stuff myself
puffy with profusion of grain
from my pretentious gain?
I am fat with flesh
wrought from fear
wide-eyed and blind
midst my misty mind.
I clatter along these tracks
at the break of my nights
sometimes waking
to snow freshly fallen
from the brightness
and dripping largess
of your incredible love.
Confined within these lines
I find brilliant particles of faith
fit for my porous mind.
Unerringly they dance
across my crusty surface
into the craggy void
and fill
a needy
grateful
soul. 02/13/2010 Posted on 02/13/2010

| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 02/15/10 at 12:06 AM I see this as a poem of reflection on those moments when God's infinite love breaks into our consciousness in glorious awareness or comprehension. |
