Saturday Verse: 'Untitled" - James Baldwin

11-02-16

UNTITLED 

Lord,
          when you send the rain
          think about it, please
          a little?
Do
          not get carried away
          by the sound of falling water,
          the marvelous light
          on the falling water.
I
          am beneath that water.
          It falls with great force
          and the light
Blinds
          me to the light.

                                                      - James Baldwin
