announcing your presence


your presence i seek beyond my thoughts
acknowledging your being, and i struggle
to connect also with your becoming
that is part of my own biography!

in my pain i see your pain; and in my joys
i enjoy your joys discerning and discovering
your faint presence wrapped up tightly
in my feeble presence that is spat upon

and trampled under the feet of those tall stout
and short and slim, the so-called elected
members of today’s Dunvegan  Sanhedrin
and i, now, wait for your risen presence

with patience and a new spirit of inquiry to walk
ahead beyond Golgotha into Emmaus to break
bread with Jesus for  my heart to glow and feel
a warmth as my tongue announces your presence!
