Where to Go Among the Chaos

I cannot explain to you

what God is,

that is his job,

if you care to listen,

or how he is in that thin shaft

of sunlight

coming down through the window,

But here is his porch,

among the trestled clematis

and the Ponderosa pine;

and here is his doorbell

of joy.

I’ll leave you now,

to walk in.
