May 31 RIP

Over time
I watched a wonderful Christian
man die
I felt sidelined by
an inability to
pray sincerely
or for that matter
pray at all
years ago for healing
then recently a miracle
and this morning
of the thirty first
in faith that he
now finally sits
with God
I’d send love
I knew thoughts
would betray me
as they so clearly
had others on
various threads
besides
thoughts are agnostic angels
I felt love would cross
the sea
love is where I hoped
my faith lay
although
and I knew it as gospel
it wouldn’t
save him
