About this ebook

In his second book of Pi Poems, Becket’s one hundred and five new poems explore new depths of the human experience, encompassing themes of hope defeating doubt, faith informing reason, and love triumphing always. The number Pi is an infinite sequence of numbers strung together wherein are infinite possibilities of numeric combinations, and its possibilities serve as the inspiration that disciplines each poem’s contemplative word. These poems are for the one who needs healing, the one who needs hope, the one who needs to go one more step in life when the way seems lost. This book is for the one who needs it.

    INTRODUCTION

    Similar to the way each line of a haiku is written according to a set number of syllables, the syllables for each Pi poem line is determined according to the number of Pi – 3.1415926535… and so on into ∞. So the first line of a pi poem would be 3 syllables, according to the first number of Pi; the second line would be 1 syllable according to the second number of Pi; the third line would be 4 syllables; the fourth would be 1; the fifth would be 5; and then 9; and then 2, and so on until the poem is finished.

    Numerous

    stars

    shining above

    leave

    me standing in awe

    of the infinitely beautiful

    secret

    expanding before us,

    spinning, exploding,

    and gesturing for everyone

    to come rest in eternal mercy,

    an unfathomable life

    beyond the narrow borders of our

    universe.

    96

    Forgetting

    how

    to be happy

    when

    I remember you,

    I work to forget the way you made

    me feel.

    97

    Justice is

    sought

    not right now in

    this

    dark world passing on

    to the enlightenment coming yet

    always

    here with our successes

    and failures to love.

    Justice is

    found after this life.

    98

    Maybe we

    could

    walk a little

    by

    ourselves in silence

    speaking one another’s love language.

    99

    Trusting this

    world’s

    justice is not

    what

    I am made for since

    I believe in the divine justice

    of God

    who is eternal love.

    100

    Take life one

    step

    at a time when

    life

    tries outrunning you.

    101

    Beyond my

    small

    perception of

    life

    networked all around

    my limited view of this
