I never read the words

I never read the words
the seeds posted to the ether
yet there are meant for me
as much as any other

Why is it, really
these words written so quickly
why do I never stop
to breathe in these words of love

I rarely hear this voice
only in passing
in being a vessel willing
a scribe for Almighty God

Why don’t I hear the message
the words flowing through me
never gaming the comfort
these words give to them.

just keep writing
---
I shared the poem below with the Youth Group Sunday night
and discussed the volume of poems I write
with Cecily and Jessica, the other 2 leaders.
When I went up to the sanctuary to lock up the church
I distinctly heard within me, “Just keep writing.”
That was my answer. . .
