Steep

It's only by forgetting yourself that you draw near to God. - Thoreau

stealthily tippy-toeing

'cuz i don't want god to see

not who i am, but rather who i desire to be

long ago i lost the key

and the ability to see

not to mention a voice that proclaims with glee

that rich, undying love

you know, the one from above

soaring like a dove

i hope you agree

it takes a miracle to walk a dead sea

and live carefree

especially with all the floating debris

we only get a little black book promise

a sort of living decree

a trickling, blood oath, not an earthly guarantee

tenderly

hanging from an untied noose 'round a tree

i get one lump

not three

no

not in my loose-leaf, steeping tea

Author's Note

"God himself culminates in the present moment, and will never be more divine in the lapse of all the ages." - Thoreau
