Yesterday you called my name
And I refused to listen
It was as though your words
Drifted to me
On a line
Of disconnection
A broken chord
I looked away
And refused to acknowledge your offer
As though by ignoring your presence
I could allow….
I could create a greater distance between us
Than I know exists in truth
Back turned
Arms folded
Eyes closed
Head turned away
All a meaningless gesture
Truly
An empty gesture
To ward off that which you offer
‘That’ being,
Nothing less than pure
Love
What will happen now?
Only time will tell
But if I had my choice?
I’d reach out my hand
And take the one you offer
I’d let the words you speak
Touch my heart
Slip inside
And explode there
Enough to fill all the emptiness
I’ve experienced
Without you in my life
I’d turn myself toward you
And let the light of you
Fill me completely
I’d breathe that in
I’d breathe that in
In a long
Slow
Breath
Then I’d walk away
Knowing you had touched my soul
In a way to strengthen, not limit me
Help me find a way to trust your light
There is nothing I want more,
Than to feel its touch
Be gentle
It will take a lot of patience
While I process all the possibilities
Amen to your loving heart
I’m looking your way
I’m leaning in your direction….
