Dependence

Dependence



I kneel in heart at the foot of you,
head bowed toward the earth.
You beg me “Look up!”
Your silhouette
as the sun detonates
in its worship,
my eyes cannot comprehend
the austerity,
the vastness of you.
Yet you beckon me
to abandon my will.
A recklessness
annihilating my sufficiency.
Claiming my gaze upon you
Taking my brokenness,
Your poor it upon yourself
The hill I climb.
This ache
Crescendos in all
my being.
I offer it to you,
my feeble sacrifice.
I stand at the peak
Empty and bare.
Your hand of Mercy
bends my knee once more
and again
I kneel in heart at the foot of you.
