Invocation

Prior to the placement of pen, O muse

Love, grant grace and words by your touch imbued

used precisely as scalpel in surgeon’s hand

Like Milton, “to justify the ways of God to man”

Or Ghandi, “to be the change I wish to see”

That I may speak without hypocrisy,

I lay on your altar my simple words

by you I speak, and by you I am heard
