Psalm 25. Jeremiah 1:4-9
Are my words yours?
Have you chosen me to speak them?
Picked me out to say them
Before I lived to do so?
Was every letter planned,
And not only incidental?
All my childhood scribblings,
Stepping stones placed with intent?
Are my fantasies guided
To be your fables?
Have you given fiction
That I may reveal your truths?
Is my ad-libbing in perfect keeping
With your timeless script?
What a comforting yet eerie thought that is.
