A Sunday Doxology
To the One who sees —
how to find enough words to speak
of all you see
when nothing is hidden
not even
in those dark places of our hearts
that ooze out to smother our
communities and nations.
Darkness multiplying darkness.
You see this.
How to speak of the
lonely, the outcast, the
faltering, floundering, failing, the
broken, the defeated.
You see us.
Where have you come from?
Where are you going?
You ask
even though you already know
the answers.
You invite
us to trust that
we are seen and known
as we step into every unseen
and unknown day.
You see us. You see the way.
