Diaries<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why Do We
\nImagine
\nOur Maker
\nas a
\nJudge?<\/p>\n

And the Diaries of
\nOur Adventures
\nto Be
\nSome Sort of
\nKarmic Police
\nReport?<\/p>\n

Or, at Best,
\na Log of
\nOur Attempts,
\nMostly Self-Perceived
\nas Failures,
\nto Find
\nOur Way,
\nLost Souls,
\nLooking for
\nThe Right Path
\nBack
\nto The Maker,<\/p>\n

as if
\nWe Were Born,
\nthen Abandoned
\nin The Wilderness?<\/p>\n

What if
\nOur Diaries
\nare Travelogues,<\/p>\n

Asked of Us When
\nThe Light
\nThat Is
\nThe Maker<\/p>\n

Diffracted
\nInto Our
\nInnumerable Eternal Rays,<\/p>\n

Asking Nothing
\nof Us<\/p>\n

But to
\nWrite Stories –
\nWrite and Re-Write,
\nWhen
\nThe Art of Love
\nRequires It –<\/p>\n

That Will Be Told with
\nBreathless Wonder
\nForever.<\/p>\n
