Faith Seeds: Prayers and Poetry

Spoken

old sayings once

fresh now dismissed

as irrelevant, obsolete.

an excuse to ignore

truths claiming confession

through obscurity.

at least when prophets

spoke of old listeners

knew the source

and could not cloak

dis-regard for ignorance,

took responsibility for disdain.

overt, subtle, various

ways still speak

ancestors’ message today.

audience: one to one.
