My Best Prophecies

                                                                  

Once upon an inappropriate closure

To an altogether different poem from this one

(Which might or might not come to robust fruition),

 

I wrote this auspicious, if presumptuous, three-line stanza,

Believing I'd struck just the right chord

To let God know I'd recited His language of angels:

 

"And I've saved my best prophecies for what's yet to be:

Those millenniums, eons, eternities God promised me,

When He spoke to Avram and Moses."

 

As for that other poem I composed, so long ago,

I'd almost forgotten about it, until tonight,

When I focused, again, on those three discarded lines,

 

Which I've carried around with me, in my notebook,

Curious about why I excised them,

Even more intrigued as to what that stanza could mean,

 

The reason I've never expunged it from my thoughts,

Rather saved it for a future occasion,

As though it, standing alone,

 

Were a mystical scripture, testament, gospel, psalm,

Capable of disclosing who I was, am, just may be,

Assuming God's prophecies can really speak to me.
