A Gay Priest

And he prays everyday for divine guidance

 

God willing he will find in life his correct path

Answers to all his most fevent and devout prayers

Yearning only for the freedom to be who he truly is

 

Please try to understand

Really he did not choose this

It was thrust upon him at birth

Soul saved or soon to be damned?

The way of Heaven or of Hell?

 

It is all he seeks to know

All at once this poem leans into reflection, tension, and quiet trepidation,

like an echo spoken softly but firmly into the same cathedral air and as

quickly as an exhaled breath, the offered thought disappeard into our own. 

Brings to mind a "Stand by Me" experience we had

one summer just before middle schoool started.

Hope it shall be read in like spirit.
