Only He Can

I can’t build

the bridge

But I can cross it

when asked

 

I can’t mark

the trail

But I can follow

when tasked

 

I can’t light

the fire

But I can warm

in its glow

 

I can’t walk

on water

But I can bathe

in its flow

 

I can’t play

the harp

But know an Angel

with hands

 

I can’t save

the masses

But love a Savior

— who can

 

(The First Book Of Prayers: August, 2025)

To The Wind

I’m not going to

watch you leave

but I’ll revel in the fact

you’re gone …

I’m not going to say

goodbye

while I bask in the silence

heard …

I’m not going to speak

your name

but I’ll covet what stays

unsaid …

I’m not going to return

your love

while throwing our tryst

— to the wind
