Nolan Hatcher: Poetry

I saw God over Chapel Hill
Nolan Hatcher

I saw God over Chapel Hill
When I was floating gently
      On my way home.
      I told the outsiders
      Of the revelation
      And they locked me up
      In a hospital in Baltimore.
But I know now what I'm meant to do,
So I shall not remain here long.
      I've stolen some cheap garments
      And solicited aid
      And soon it'll be
      When I'm home again free,
            Cradled in the arms of the Lord.
