A Poem by Thomas Emile Vaughen

The contemporary affliction is a lack
of conviction; and though this is not a 
call to believe in some Redeemer of it
all (This is not a call to superstition at
all) I do wish we were given licence 
to drop into the dopey, gooey naivety
of endlessly finding one another - 
sisters, brothers And returning to a 
hope in love and its Grandeur 

Faith is most real when it's found in
the hands of a tiny creature with an
erratic heart, beating bedside and 
suffering in shallow serum supposing
that miracles are those flowing lines
of hips, breasts, the tenderest clay
Here today to wed in an earnest 
union of everything seen and in front
of the other

Always
