Very With Me
VERY WITH ME
I STARTED FAR FROM EVERYWHERE,
AND HE WAS VERY WITH ME,
NO SIGNS,
NO ROAD,
NO DESTINATION WORTHY OF PURSUIT,
AND HE WAS VERY WITH ME.
STEPS LIKE PRAYERS OF CONSECRATION,
FOLLOWING,
NO MOISTURE,
AND HE WAS VERY WITH ME.
A ROCK, A STREAM, A ROOM, A WALL,
NOTHING I HAD SEEN STAYED FIRM,
AND HE WAS VERY WITH ME.
EACH BREATH WAS MERE ANTICIPATION
OF SOMETHING NEAR,
BUT NEVER SEEN.
WONDERFULLY DRAWN,
THE STRENGTH OF THAT PEACE,
AND HE WAS VERY WITH ME.
