Not Even Light Whom You Loved First

Lord God.

how you endure

waiting for the tides to turn

returning all things to you

each splintered domain

each picture frame of your first Creation

the green leaf in its first imprint on the day

and our tired hearts gone so far astray

you would have gathered in at any time

but we were blind.

our blindness you must endure as if it were your own

even Light cannot comfort you whom you loved first 

before all else

nor my poor words though how I wish they could.
