Sometimes I wish
We could process together
Compare notes
And ask each other
Was it like this for you?

Why would God do this?
Create a call that couldn’t happen
But at the same time
So deeply effect
Our inner lives?

Was there no other way
To keep us close to his path
Would I have really
Not listened
And done something much worse?

And what of the others?
Who through no fault
of their own
No deed deserving
Became lesser

I will love them more now
And you yours
I can accept the gift as is
The force, the intersect, the grounding
Even stronger than you
