:

& as I saw the homeless man

I thought of all the things I have

A shelter , food , friends

And I looked up and said to god

THANK YOU

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR BLESSINGS

//

& a voice burst forth from heaven saying

*******  !

//

//

I looked around at all the people on the street

And as I saw the homeless man hobbling along

I thought

( in the still calmness now pervading )

I DESERVED THAT

//

& the poem draws toward its end

With me walking toward the homeless man

Wondering what I would do or say

But with a feeling that I was now

Entering the living poem being written

Here

Written by god

And grateful to be becoming

A real human being

And a part of the reality
