How often those that help us aren't the ones That we've been praying to - but other gods and angels Who hear our prayers in reruns And, out of curiosity or anger Or love Come from above To Earth moonlit and glowing To give us what, without really knowing, We asked them for; In their bliss divine, They play with our words Until they shine Like bright and hot - but far to distant - suns. How often those that help us aren't the ones.
