Forrest Hainline Poems

Six cygnets walking
Between their parents at
Palace of Fine Arts
...

There are no prophets
There's human wisdom only
God does not write rules
...

Defend
My cause against
An ungodly people
Send out your light, lead me to your
...

Awake
Are you sleeping?
Have you hidden your face?
For the sake of your steadfast love
...

Marriage
Deserves a kiss
Each morning and again
No matter how much stress you face
...

You can hear sobbing
From the crumbled vine-covered
Ancient Pieta
...

I am
The garden god
Fecund, fruitful, fertile,
Alive; I am blessed with many
...

I never traveled
So far into me until
I journeyed with you
...

Invited silence
Play me your symphony of
Imagination
...

I'm burning with God
And I will kill you because
Your God is not mine
...
