I feel that this poem owes a great deal to my greatest influence, the work of R.S.Thomas. No apologies - only gratitude.
NOT PROSAIC
And God said: sing me
a song. Talk of me only
in poetry, so that your mind
is not bound. Do not confine
me in your prose, for you will
lose me in the thicket
of your language. Rather
let your words ring with the
resonance of my love,
sounding deep in the hearts
of all who hear the visions
of their transparent ambiguity.
