One Thing

+

See me

 Scraping and clawing at your word 

Trying desperately to find the metaphor 

Which makes sense 

of my existence...

 My failings,

 My agonizing misses

 My utter lack of character

 My Self 

It is here

 In the middle of this crazed kerfuffle

And not in some pious white washed prayer time

You meet me

You gently take my chin

You reel my gaze back in to meet Yours

And to look

Instead

For You

"One thing is needed..."

Luke 42:10, 12
