Your presence
Is here yet so subtle
So far away
Like grasping at vapor
My love, my heart, my all
You are not near now
I question- what I have done?
Or perhaps not done.
But without Your imminence
I do not have the energy
To find you.
You promised to never leave
To meet me where I am
So I plead with you now
Give me the guidance I seek
The joy and peace I long for
I know it can only come from You
Don’t withhold
Your precious gifts from me.
You said to come to You as a child
Here I am
Like when my babies ask me to kiss their scrapes
In all my vulnerability
Heal my heart, fill my soul
As you have so many times before.
Without it I cannot survive
Here in this beautiful, vicious world.
