Another fine mess

Another fine mess
 
Words never contain the truth –
it pours right through them
 
splattering onto the immaculate page.
But I am not yet comfortable with silence
 
which feels too much like
the loneliness leading up to death.
 
You were silent in Your Onlyness. 
I have only words to offer.
 
You were silent in Your Wholeness.  
I am not silent because I am not whole,
 
habitually voicing my words
of praise and complaint
 
for yet another fine mess                   
You seem to have gotten us into.
 
O child of God, another collection of words from you.
When will you be struck dumb by your own presumption? 
 
(drawing by Rich Panico)
