Where are You
when I gasp for deeper breaths,
deeper life?
I know,
You are everywhere
in everything,
I know.
But in my empty breaths
I struggle
I grasp
I fumble
for the fullness of
Your Grace,
for the abundance of
Your Face.
I am blind
in a voiceless world
in a shadowy clearing
that should be
Light,
that should be
Love.
Where are You
when I search for understanding,
deeper meaning?
I know,
You are within me
You are my soul,
I know.
But in my darkest doubts
I despair
I long
I choke
on the uncertainty of
Your Way
on the silence of
my faith.
I am lost
in a muddled mind
in a cavernous heart
that should be
full,
that should be
Love.
Where are You?
