Analysis of Source of Inner Power. Beggarly.
So I come to you with verses
gleaned from Book of books
sublime.
and you think I do so smugly
with no straining slopes to climb.
but I'm a Beggar.
all of God must come that way.
there must be plentiful breaking
then I have some stuff to say
Say to you the
Weary Traveler
Say to you, the Vital Way.
