My Contrition

I see You lightly
in the dark of me
Divine Contrast

I see You purely
in my unfiltered zones
You, the candle of my being
a lantern in my wanderer's woods

A beacon on Redemption Shore
guiding me back
from a journey's edge

Lord, I am tired

I seek the dock of my
blessed return
Lord, I am deeply saturated
longing

Deeply sorry for falling
having learned
all directions are back to You

Lord, I am ready
Lord, show mercy
I am truly sorry
