It’s National Poetry Month (#NPM17)…
here is this morning’s poetic offering:
The Problem with Lists
Lists of this,
and that
cause great distraction-
priorities swim
in an ocean of To Do.
People become projects-
tasks to tick off
and I know Jesus
never ticks me off a list,
but shows up
sweating blood
love beading on his brow
Never stares at his phone
too preoccupied
to look up
and see me…
to pause and behold my pain.
