A prayer from the crowd

Dorian Robin Clark

I should like to be in outer space
the reason might then be clear
why every word is whisper soft
and human touch is long since lost

I should like to be in outer space
I should like to know the distance
in feet
of how great is the divide
between You and I
that some day we might meet
