NAPOWRIMO #25: BELIEVE

For 2011's National Poetry Writing Month (NaPoWriMo), Troy's Work Table is attempting to write thirty poems in thirty days without the help of writing prompts from other websites.

Many of these are still in some sort of draft stage, but that is the nature of the Work Table.

BELIEVE

You can’t believe that
they say

it’s exclusive

it’s black and white

it’s not what we believe

so I invite

and speak of grays

and confirm that I don’t
believe what they believe

but that I trust
that the mind of God

is large enough to contain

both beliefs

and mountains more

I speak of visions

that they don’t want
to hear

because they’re filled
with jeweled colors

and the mercies
they secretly covet

but they can’t state such beliefs

while the others watch

and wait.
