We wait for You.

My face is
The face of a fool

Seeking peace
In lusting the horizon,
In soft thoughts that
Fill my head, my belly, with
sugary stale air,
This glaze over emptiness.
I’m walking away
from peace.
I’m walking away
from You.
Seeking to
fill a fantasy
Rather than
Gaze.

“I’ll have no other gods before You”
I have said
When I put on this ring.

My heart
Has forgotten
what it knows, and
Has gone whoring
Under every green tree.




"For we do not present our
pleas before you
because of
our righteousness,
but
because of

Your
great
mercy.

O Lord, Hear;
O Lord, forgive.
O Lord, pay attention and act.

Delay not, for your own sake, O my God,
because
your city
and
your people
are called by your name."
