| I realize I can do nothing without You Everything about me, anything Good that matters was given to me By You And everything that I am without you Is nothing Like dust in the wind, it all fades With the passing of time At the end of my days, what will I have, but what I’ve given You to hold? All that I can hold myself if what I do not want – regret For a life not well lived, people and opportunities To bless - gone! Oh Lord, have mercy on my foolish Image of self! My pride, and desires, my illusions Forgive me for my lack of forgiveness! Thank you! Thank you for sparing me with your Own life Help me, continue to mold this stubborn piece of clay My soul cries wordlessly to You in the midst of my Muddled-ness – but You hear and understand Second by second, minute by minute I need You I need You once again |

Sophira - you are lean of speech and eloquent, and I can participate in your images and ideas. This is a starkly beautiful piece, honest and human.
I appreciate very much your comments on my latest poem. My stuff, you are right, can be alienating sometimes. I am at the mercy of something much larger than me when I write, and often the words stay hovering just above the common ground. I will be mindful of the distances I create or bridge with my use of language. Thank you!
