Go.

I went out

to encircle the houses

and gaze at the clouds

I walked past

a running man

who chose to sit

on that bench

As thoughts ran through my head

I thought I heard something said

I asked "Lord, was it You?"

I walked on towards home

But stopped mid-way

just in case

it was God

who said

"Go, and pray for him"

I stood afar wondering

watching him still sitting

I said to God "If it was You"

"Could You please, tell me again."

I asked for a sign

if the woman passed my lane

I would go

But before I finished my sentence

she had gone

the other lane

Just once more

as a couple was passing

I asked God again

"If they say 'go', I will go"

As we crossed paths

they did not say it

so I headed 

towards home

Crossing them again

towards my home

suddenly I heard

the wife say "go"

So I went

And though the man

seemed confused

and did not have 

a request in mind

I left the bench

feeling relieved

from the restlessness

I had when I first past him.
