ONE FLOATS FREE, 5-17-17
The world will stagger
And need our prayers for
mercy
Mercy for the moment
And all the lonely moments
Yet to come
One of us must stay
And one must go
The soul goes on and
leaves
The body as a useless husk
One of us must stay in
flesh
While one floats free

[No, I’m not writing
again. I’m still fasting from being a professional Christian, trying to be a
real Christian. But I start most days with a poem—unedited, just the way it
comes off the top of my head--just because I want to, and because I need to
write. You don’t need to read it, though, and I have told no one that I am
posting in CIW again, so if you have stumbled in here by mistake, and think
there will be something worthwhile to read, I apologize. JRMcF]
