Wise ones

I’ve known many wise ones in my time,
yet even some of them have found themselves
inadvertently
in the halls of power,
pursuing a detour that seemed harmless enough
at first sight,
reeled in by false piety and fake concern:
‘Come back and let me know
so I may also go’.
It takes an arresting dream to divert us to another route,
to send us home another, more fruitful way.

In our life and our believing
The love of God
