How many times
Have I waited and hoped?
Only to hear the silence
Of the night sky
That is your soul.
And I don’t know the way

Days go by
Many nights
In contemplation and prayer.
Thinking, breathing in
The nothing repeating – again and again.
And I lie mystified there…

Months disappear
Calendar pages turn
Nothing makes sense.
Answers eluding my gaze
The questions frozen
Suspended in air, and time.

Turn left or right?
Walking in circles
Running with time
Away or towards?
Pulling or pushing?
Crooked little line
Am I

I don’t know the answer
But One Who Lives
Sees the tumult
Your vanishing created.
The dullness, nesting in my heart
Your legacy

Forever.
