Messiah

Young and sleepless
I worried
planes might fall from blue skies
I could be the Messiah
and never know it
miss my mission
miss the call
believe in a God
helpless and frail

Ntozake

i found god in myself & i loved her/I loved her fiercely

Ntozake Shange
She is right there
just where you ae afraid
she might be
and more than you hoped
which is what really blows
it all apart:
it is too much to know
that you could be
loved, loved, loved
like that

Forgiving God

Forgiving you comes most easily
when I dress you as a man:
blue jeans, Birkenstocks
a gray Henley with small buttons

Where have you been?
You seem to say so little
expect so much
I've been heartbroken
ill-used and lonely so long

The g-d of forgiveness they call you
I get it:
when it comes to you
I've got a lot of forgiving to do
