I dreamed this poem the other night – or rather, morning, as I wrote it down immediately on awakening. In the dream I was writing it on a blackboard.

I have loved you

I have railed against you

I have run away

and tried to hide.

I have pushed you away

then cried out for you.

I have sought you

and longed for you

in my broken, human way.

But You –

You were really always there

always waiting

for me to return

always loving

the broken human that I am.

For You –

You are Love

You are Grace

You are God.
