God, My God Poem by RIC BASTASA

as i finally find myself alone
in my room, like a sun turned off
planets falling on the floor
like dust from the curtain
and waste basket filled with
crumpled scratches of works
unacceptable to my standards,
i learn for once
to pause in silence
just fifteen minutes to call your
name, how i have relied much
on my self, my faith and
pride to a determination,
i must know by now,
like a broken planetary system,
the you have laws,
merciless, that you have love,
also always forgiving,
i go upon another poem
praising your Glory
Without you I am nothing,
In You, alone, when I am alone
Shall i find
the humility of
rested, aloof,
understanding, this Genius of
You, where i am
nothing but
a whimper.
