Father God,

Father God,


Father God, though the winds

Howl sorrow into raptures of anguish.

They cannot blow me down.

Or love for you extinguish.

 

In your mysteries I see beyond of all

That worlds have to say and do and feel.

I feel their truth above all truth precise.

Where minds must ever toss and reel.

 

Like mystery maiden oer the maidens of the world.

Her face is veiled and dimly do I see her.

But all her dimness is a splendor matchless

Amidst the world’s bestial stir.

 

Oh maiden of mystery draw me.

Till all my heart is wrapped in awe.

In a beauty I cannot frame.

Nor leave for kingdoms of straw.

Very nicely written poem. I like it. keep writing.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
