not present
to my own

I long for one
who will be there

with rest
from my interrogator

who stares me down
to ask

So you are
worth…

Audio:

often I forget it
cannot find it
try the wrong one

our meeting
fails
never happens

how I cherish
when I do not
need one

when I can be
with you
without a

password

stitch by stitch
this love of hand
of heart
comes
to touch you
with the longing
of many
to one with you
to hold you dear
to light on your shoulders
free you from fears
so
feel the warmth
the Christ coming

Let it be so!
Let it be so!
