A childhood scar

A childhood scar
 
A childhood scar on my left hand,
like a testament and lifetime friend,
 
is no longer visible
among the intricate creases of old age.
 
This poetry is a lightning bolt,
piercing the dutiful gray.
 
I am a part time stenographer
with nothing of my own to add.
 
I need to be quiet now.  Everything
belongs to Him, is Him. 
 
As you read these words,
read the silence between them
 
and ask yourself, o child – if God is the Sole Doer,
what is your function and purpose?
