If God is dead
Did we kill her?
Did we turn a blind eye
And a deaf ear?
Did we refused to come near
To places and attitudes of peace?
Did we drive ourselves crazy
Seeking relief
From wounds we need the open hearted courage
To embrace
Fully
Rather than resist
What heavenly good
Does all of this fractured restless running around
Do?
And when we lack the capacity to be still
How can we honestly ever begin
To be able to fully
Enter
The living mystery?
Truly it surrounds us every day
Is breathing us
But life knows
Truly
That God and angels
Are patiently waiting
Upon us
To leave behind
Our sleepwalking state
And to
Awaken
Emerging From The Dark Night
