As a psychologically ill person,
I had more inclination to probe
the universe mentally, plus delve
into my unconscious simultaneously,
wanting a moral mentor but
there was no mortal like that in
my parent’s household, so I chose
to believe in a Supernal being
somewhere in the eternities;
I remember my first secret
meeting with Him crawling out
onto the roof during a cold
transformative Christmas night,
lying on my back, gazing up
at the firmament, hands behind
my head, instinctively wide-eyed,
and intensely aware my contemplations
were heard, personally, and smiled upon
by someone telling me to persevere.
I snuck back inside and crawled under
warm blankets promising to never forget
what I sensed God had to say to me
during a moment of wonder
I recall vividly today.
