Church missions
Are rare now to find
Is God gone?
Few people
Want to hear one yell
About God
Their loud words
Do not ease the soul
Bring comfort
Yet, to eat
To receive a meal
Twas the price
Soup kitchens
Let you warm awhile
Then you leave
You'll go back
Out into weather
That drains you
To seek out
A safe place where you
Can get rest.......
From the heat
It is just as hard
To find rest
In days past
Under I 84's bridge
I found rest
For awhile
Til the cold rain fell
I found rest
Under a blue trap
I found rest
Built fires
To prepare my food
Warm my bones
For awhile
My soul was at rest
Days long gone
Now I live
In a shelter where
Joy lives not
