My Journey to God

New Year’s Resolutions

Perhaps this year
the sharp cuts
of my intentions
will reveal
a form
slipping
like an angel
from blank-eyed stone
when the dust
is brushed away
and the chisel of my mind
finds a miracle within
the reluctant marble
of my life.

Perhaps this year
I will stand free
of tiresome possibility
feel the hard surface
of my sleep
break
and know myself
fully formed
less than perfect
and at last
awake.
