An Apt Metaphor for Me

Its been forever and a day and then some since I have posted any poetry at Bakotopia but today it just feels right so here goes NOTHING!

I heard my mind say
"I wish I had bought a candle today"
and God said,
"Lift your chin, there is a candle
right in front of you, silly girl"
and so there was

Slightly used and still useable.
An apt metaphor for me
So I smiled and kept my
chin lifted and raced to find
a match that worked unti
I remembered there, in the drawer
Right where I sat was not
only one match box, but two

God laughed with me
"Right in front of you, silly girl"
And so there were
Two boxes, not one, but two
More than I needed
an abundance, plenty

An apt metaphor for me?

I wait, listening thinking
this poem isn't at all
not nearly no couldn't be done
Feels like a work in progress
Not a finished, ready for
showing gathering of thoughts

I hear it now, familiar
God (sounding like Candice Bergen)
says "Do you get it yet?"

A work in progress? Yes
An apt metaphor for me.
