Sevens

An interesting exercise, and an exercise it is.

I practice at night
Count backwards
By sevens
Never know
When I will be called upon
To do it again.
Few of us think
In sevens
Forwards
Or backwards.
Forgiveness
Comes in sevens
A number
That clogs the brain
Means endless
Endless
Endless
Backwards
And forwards.
If or when
I find myself
In yet one more
Emergency Room
Counting backwards
By sevens,
Count those
I must forgive.
Sevens
Always sevens.
