tongue in cheek

tonight

i was visited by a living saint
he was very succinct with his intentions

thank you god
for this miracle

he offered up precious wisdom
from his holiest of divine texts
i did not even have to ask

how thoughtful
how kind and benevolent

i am still amazed that he could read my mind
and predict my words
before even i knew what i would say

amazing

a miracle

thank you god

i am so grateful for this visitation

all i have to do is stop, look and listen
these angels are here all about me
to remind me of how to proceed

he must be an anointed one
he certainly behaves as such

i am so moved
that my tongue
has become firmly planted
in my cheek
