Alone

And then You are here, 

the one who sired every world,

flooding my every crevice, every pour, dissolving

any wound of loneliness, satisfying

every desire.......

In the darkness

of early morning I sit

encased in the loneliness that comes with dark and quiet

thinking of the One

 

the creator of the universe

that week in Jerusalem

cries of praise quickly dimming

 

alone

in the midst of hate, and fear and misunderstanding

alone with his knowledge

of what would be

 

alone 

in the dust of the streets

the broken rubble of tables

the anger of the money changers

alone among the grasping hands

reaching for him

wanting

taking

alone 

going through those moments 

leading to that moment

when he would cry

God!

Why have you left me....

alone

on this cross

going through those moments

so i would never have to be

alone
