I have my hands folded
for Jupiter to return
to an old mountain home
like a letter found in a forgotten tome
I tried to rest easy. My toil, at best,
was tired, but still had zest
I couldn’t stand the distant one
Nor could I, the sun
I had my hands folded
to somethings beholden
Light is not golden
Can God be emboldened?
The ocean is not my floor
On October-November, I shut the door
Has anyone seen Mercury lately?
Can Venus help me sedately?
Monte – what a beautiful poem. So subtle so poignant
