Francis and Clare

Still I wonder
what went through the thoughts
of Francis of Assisi
where he was between
his twelve disciples
as he met Clare.

There are things
incomprehensible to some
like when people choose
to life in poverty
to help others
and without a life partner
take life on bravely
and only are dedicated to God.
