When God Whispered In Uncle Walt's Ear


Loneliness is a place that does not
exist in God's world.
Hopeless, formless, desolate,
these are fearful things
hurtling through our hearts so
painfully as to stop a breath
and that is their purpose,
to stop
a life, a choice,
to make one ignore
sweet faith.
But in the universe of creation
where all that fly be they
atom, or bird, or galaxy,
a joyful reunion occurs
where we re-introduce
ourselves to The Creator
one God, Our God,
one of poetry and light
who despite Universal Duty
once stopped to teach
a lonely, bearded, bard
to sing the body electric.
