Supposition

Suppose I were to take you at your word,
Shout at the mountains immovable,
Focus my concentration like a glass
Narrowing the light to spark
Then watching for the burst of fire,
Expecting its imminence,
Willing it to consume
Every unworthy doubt
Until that which remains
In place of the giant
Is sanctified victory,
Faith's reward manifest,
The triumph of belief over reason
And destiny's golden path laid out
Before my astonished eyes
As it all comes into focus,
The apparition of the impossible removed.

Dilemma

I'd want to fall in love with you

But then I'd want for nothing else

And wanting's good for human souls

Because we seek to want much less

............................................

I'd need you in my every hour

But then I'd need to cling too much

And you need servants more secure

To reach the needy they don't know

............................................

I'd give you every bit of me

But you're the one who gave it first

And how can I give what you own

Except the giving takes from yours

...........................................

I'd live to always be with you

But you live everywhere it seems

Your spirit lives inside of us

That we might choose not death but life
