fame, fame,
chasing an empty frame
stirring up
a desperate perusal of pages for meaning
continual searching for the next thing;
i signed an acceptance letter today,
i fulfilled a dream.
And, yet, I'm still looking?
and a whispering thought
"what with the incarnation and all"
[pause]
how can...i...
say i believe
then set my worth; identity
on a program
on a dead tree; degree
candle burning and it's out.
to be blunt; that is my life.
be still now, settle down.
trust in God
the God who came
not in means.
