In the middle of my chest an emptiness. Where are you, God? Where is your Spirit within me? Where is life? That inner presence? In the world out there, I have what I need. I am grateful, but unfulfilled. I have tried my best to call you, make room for you. But you do not stir. Your Will and Grace are an untouchable mystery. How could I ever tell you when or how? But there is nothing left for me to give. Even anger takes too much.
Yet I know your beauty, and this cannot be shaken. But you have chosen to remain hidden. I must be in the way Or looking in the wrong direction. I cannot tell and cannot bring it about. Please remove from me the barriers that bar my sight and let me see you!
