1.
Pray, sweet pensive ladies.
Dost thou pray?
Or, are these but dreams
that do occupy you?
If dreams, mayst I join two?
(Just a third
in unholy threesome
strikes not my fancy.)
I'd even the wheel,
if but to help carry thy burden.
Wheels are useful
and oft-times needed.
2.
If prayer is thy treat,
I'd join with you,
a loving warrior,
not soft retreat:
To god's will in co-creating thine.
Where two are gathered
begets the third
and in god-like oneness
embraces all.
3.
Do you pray?
Or are you dreaming.
Together as one?
Or together as two.
Beget the third.
What do you think?
4.
(Oh, pensive ladies,
I'd the fourth!
And gladly be . . .)
