Linford Detweiler writes a good bit of the material for a band called Over the Rhine, which I recommend heartily. The short poem below is also his work. It appears on the band’s website here.

dissolving on the blue tongue of the sky

Sometimes the whole world is nothing
So much
As an altar inviting us
To kneel

Incidentally, the admired poetry idea is borrowed from the admired poet who writes at Agitation of Hands. Strength of Words
