It LIkes To Think

Poetry

Dec 19

Written By Joel Repic

Empire likes to think
And sometimes so do I
That it can hold all the people
And all the places
In its hand

But its grip
And mine
No matter how self-assured
Aren’t big
Enough

We reach for bigger things
So we lose other things
Beautiful things
Through fingers with gaps
In between

So people
And places
Very small
Slip through

What’s left behind
Is where to start
Where to listen and start over
Where to pray and be over

Come

Where the Kingdom has room
It makes even more for you
And is already there
Because empire
Left it behind
Too

might still
