On Sandwich Parchment

thoughts bounce
quickly to renounce
and pounce

      on a prior fragment

what it meant
and what it means
till we wipe the slate clean

a good preen
a great fix

but what am I in all of this
but the one-
a mess
yet His

and in a frantic
flurry

in a storm of worry
things hurry
till

stop

"hop
onto this train"
He says
as He grabs my hand
& pulls me aboard

[the one who makes
and is never bored]

and off I go
never to know
how He made this miracle so
only to trust
as I must

this peacefulness might bust!
until...

I'm stuck
in the muck
of the Charlotte come and go

s l o w

light after light
my delight
becomes
buzzing

mind wandering
fuzzy

oops!

almost crashed
how long will this last?
till I'm there

oh what an affair
when my heart can only care
about home:

my loves
and things deep and extraordinary

and so I carry these thoughts
till the peaceful train is brought

breathe and receive
my saviors burden.

amen, amen, amen.
