Pi Poems: Book Two
By Becket
()
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.

Becket has a BA in music composition, an MA in Systematic Theology, and an MS in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. He was a Benedictine monk for many years. For the last nine years, he has worked as Anne Rice’s assistant, and has spent that time learning from her.

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
