So often

If I were preaching these days, this is what I would say...walking up to the pulpit with my walker.

So often
I find myself on that roof
Being lowered down
To Jesus
By friends
By my therapist
By people I never imagined
Could hold me
Even in a crowd.
So often
I realize
There is a hole
In that roof
And I
I am being lowered down
To Jesus.

Something else

After my first double seizure I introduced my beloved to my therapist, thinking I had no idea what was next, and perhaps the two of them might need to interact if this seizure-thing moved on to something else. What was this something else, you might ask? I had no idea. I still have no idea. That's what makes it a something else.

When I sit with you
I figure I must make the most
Of the money I am paying.
This seems to mean
I must fill the air
With the most words possible,
To get the most
Out of our fifty-five minutes.
This morning I wonder
About my beloved.
He says he would like to sit
In a corner of your office
Perhaps even on the floor
Watch the light
Come through the windows
Drink in the possible
Fifty-five minute stop
To the usual
Before moving on
To the next thing.
