Still Waiting

When you knock, ask to see God – none of the servants. - Thoreau

i see you in invisibility

hearing you in deafness

tasting you in bland, stirred pots

smelling you in congestion

reading your braille

praying to you 'pon bended knee

i recognize you incognito

walking with you on a balance beam

dangling with you out on a limb

chasing you on a treadmill at the gym

singing of you in a stained glass hymn

i knock on your obscure, pearly door with my sin

but you still won't let me in

Author's Note

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

Thank you for this, it gives me comfort in knowing another human has the same questions that I do ( although they may be different than mine-it still spoke to me) I especially loved your lines, "chasing you on a treadmill at the gym/ singing of you in a stained glass hymn". Thank you again.
