I'm knocking at heaven
and asking for faith
but not the makeshift kind
that counts the stars but doesn't notice chickens
not the butterfly kind that lasts a day
I want
the kind that's always fresh because it's boundless
that follows its mother like a lamb
that doesn't grasp but understands
that picks the smallest words
can't answer everything
and doesn't come undone
if someone croaks



[
priest Jan Twardowski " Asking for Faith " ]
and I'm asking for it on behalf of both of us
