another try

you surrender your life
to a higher power.

give everything, all issues,
all thoughts,
all problems large
and small
to God.

work, relationships, love
death
and sex.

i'm taking my hand off
the wheel,
letting you drive this time
you say from
your calloused knees.

God listens and sighs.
you hear him whisper.
again?
and you say yes. i'm
giving it another try.


good, He says. good, get
ready for
what happens next.
