Poem based on the presentation of our Lord Luke 2:22-40

I sit and wait

wait for when the time will be

that I too may know Lord

that I too may feel

                        may see

what this life is all about

the reason for our life

and why we are here

to see, know, feel the existence

of every person’s struggle

called life

some search the mountains

some the valleys

some search for the truth in their heads

some in the cosmos

in the end they all

we all

wait

until

we have exhausted all our own

(Lord)

looking no more to our selves

our books

our minds

our cosmos

or the other among us

(not let thy servant)

finding nothing

(depart)

to see the all

(in peace)

among us

Emmanuel
