The Song of the Prophet

Eternity is present to the soul

That pain brings to the light. I follow fate

On which my will will freely dance. My bowl

Is filled with spirit. I will not debate

With God for what He’s given me—a voice

That speaks in only truth, in poetry

That sings. Come sing along. Come sing, rejoice

In all the complex love that makes us free.

You thirst? I pour out what has overflowed

The bowl God filled. There’s more than you can know—

Perhaps I cannot speak all that God showed,

And I am but a rhyming afterglow.

I am the moon who in the night will pour

The light out of my bowl to show the door.
