Poem: Whining to the Holy Spirit

Whining to the Holy Spirit

I am, it seems, empty.
All worth saying, said
in twenty-seven different verses.
I have no new wisdom.
I have no new pain to push through
and the old ones have become tiresome.
I simply am,
an empty bowl waiting
to be filled.

About this poem.

Not my most elegant poem. But what do you expect of an empty bowl?
