Keepin’ on Track

I sit and pray and I meditate
And thoughts arise while in that state.
Words come to mind and I just pen
One after another to the end
Of lines that total about eighteen
And by then it’s time to wean
Myself from paper, pen, and chair,
No longer at walls and fire to stare.
Now up comes Ike to get ready,
A man who stays on track,
Never wandering or looking back
Or for another route but the Word
Keeping him straight and from the absurd.
