Ireland's Mourne Wall
POST #6

Spiritual hunger was not  eased by a few clues.

After summer illness,
I returned to work,
Kept seeking

privileged couple who still lacked something
beyond themselves. 
Gap between doubt and faith, to him,
yawned too wide

so why not give my copy to him?
He ate it up and
we talked about it after that,
over coffee, a walk, a lunch, then dinner...
