Thin-skinned heart
Thin-skinned heart
You say, Don’t try to
understand Me.
Good advice, since You don’t
quite make sense, that is to say,
nothing seems to fit and You,
of course, are everything
but, every so often You send me off
on an analytical jag, knowing
I’ll come back around because
my thoughts always lead me in circles.
It’s about time, this time;
inevitability and purpose, distance
and proximity and the ubiquitous
reality of non-significance while never leaving,
mind You, the confines of my thick skull,
never venturing near the love-strapped,
thin-skinned heart I bear inside
until I am, at last, back on Your stoop,
knocking on Your door and being let in
graciously, mercifully, as I fall in timeless,
eternal repetition, at the unfathomable,
beyond imagination and conception, illusion
of Your body and Your holy, human feet.
O child of God, one significant allurement of faith
is the lack of any coherent alternative.
Betting on prayer
Betting on prayer
I grew up impoverished.
After many years, I noticed
innumerable jewels
lay scattered at my feet.
Yet, I remained poor because,
I refused to take off my boxing gloves
long enough to scoop them up.
So years later –
with great effort and daring –
I took off the gloves.
Yet, I remain poor because,
most of the jewels proved to be paste.
Now my naked heart and hands
are folded in prayer, which may, also,
be mostly paste -- we shall see –
but, what great treasure
has a poor man to lose anyway
betting on prayer?
O child of God, veils within and without
obscure the treasure of infinite worth.
