God Never Screams

Precious Lord
The timer sounded long ago
and I just sat here
staring at my impossibly inept pawns
silent
wondering which move will
inflict the least damage
until forfieture became
my only option
and You waited
waited
like Regis asking, "Is that your final answer?"
and finally I replied, "yes,
sweet lord who holds my father in the sky,
yes."
Yes
So swift and excellent your will
your hand
like a whisper
moved me into mate








(I apologize for the crude poem above...
I'm letting God fix my problems now
and, as usual
I stand amazed...)
