Silly Horsey

Silly how the world turns.

Silly how the blame and fault burn 

with questions with no answers.

Silly how the dead are silent.

Silly how I write on a coloring page 

while my son beside me plays

“silly horsey.”

Silly “how could they?” 

Silly “why don’t I?”

Silly mind.

Silly heart.

Silly life.

Silly how old habits come back.

Silly how old wells stay dry.

Silly how long it takes me to pray, 

repent and return to my son’s game.

Silly horsey.
