"What do you want?"
John 1:37
Where are you staying
Lord,
that I have not closed the door
to you
or turned in my blindness's
away from your dazzling light?
Where, that I have not heard
in my deaf blankness
the music of your voice
or the soft murmuring of your truth
splintering the stone
before the tomb
of my heart?
Where, that I may embrace
the pursuing flash
of your love,
that around every corner
of my resistance
comes in-flooding
all the same?
Where are you staying
Lord,
that I may
from this separate sleep
awaken
in You?
This is another neat piece, Cynthia. I like that it follows and comments on and extends the liturgical reading for this Sunday. I love the honesty that exists here in the seeking as well as in the admittance of resistance. It is good to bring ourselves into the scripture in this way. Many Blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteYes! I went to Mass on Saturday and wrote it afterwards with the readings very much in mind and heart. There are so many ways we resist His love are there not? All is grace....
