your back is facing?
when you've turned away
turned your back....
honestly,
God...God....where are you?
help me!
as we reach for the bottle
the chocolate
the body
the "toy" (not the Real Thing)
facing toward the world
God out of sight
only because
we are grasping
for what we believe
will satisfy
our hunger
bring us
relief,
even "happiness", we call it
a toy car
is not
a real one
you can't get in it
it doesn't fit
it's way too small for you
so we pretend
to get in
and drive around
and fantasize
all the places
it will take us--
so much "fun"
all pretend
and no substitute
for the Real Thing
for true happiness
for the truth
of what we are
not a doll,
but God
Itself,
wholly creative
infinite
ever expanding
Joy
would we not turn around
for This?
