Write Me

Write me a poem that will change the world
It doesn't have to be complicated or obscure
It doesn't have to invent a new disease
for which only you have found the cure
It doesn't have to be anything to rival
The Iliad or The Bible
It doesn't have to be anything like that.

Write me a poem that will change the world
a ripple in the water or
a bomb that strikes out cities
Maybe it will be both

But write me something that will make my mind unfold
New again like a seedling of Mother Earth
in all of her perpetual glory!
With Father Time standing by
winding and rewinding my mind
and my Father farther than the sky
clasping it all in His hands.
Write me something to remind me It's Here
