I cannot know you
As you know yourself
Can I know myself
As you made me,
And exhaled me
Into your creation?
Your universe is the framework
I clumsily embroider
With broken understandings
Keep patience
As I fumble to recite
The words of your text
Reach into my life
Show me where our meanings meet
Where small gestures may reveal
The sacrifice you make
Sustaining your creation
I cannot change
The way of this unfolding
The pain and the loss
But can I find its meaning
In the spaces and moments
Where we meet
And behold together
The mystery of Being
