Both Sacred and Profane
Poems
My poetry mixes sacred and profane, for I don't believe God could be limited to such human categories. That said, I've tried to give you some helpful themes to explore. All is ultimately in search of the divine in the midst of the mess, though sometimes with less-than-stellar language from a sinner on the Way.
