The Day Belongs to Faith & God, poem by Peter Menkin
by Peter Menkin

Feb 12, 2001
By Peter Menkin, Obl Cam OSB


This morning's rain and rising
cried
for a short walk
allowing the day then to belong

to my life and many lives in faith.
A lightening of affliction,
a respite to pain and sorrow,
a living in the body,

along the way to breathe clean air
and know mortality
during time spent on the path;

come back
to me my sanity of rightness
giving in
to the many colors of pain and weakness:
finitude.





Peter Menkin, an aspiring poet, lives in Mill Valley, CA USA where he writes poetry. He is an Oblate of Immaculate Heart Hermitage, Big Sur, CA and that means he is a Camaldoli Benedictine. He is 64 years of age as of 2010.
