Choosing Lonliness

Alone.
Lying on rusty springs in the dry cold of an old home.

This corner of Minnesota has little to say about who I am,
Other than the emptiness of my life.

God speaks to me everyday.
I listen when I feel like it.

Life is roses, I don’t need God.
Pedals fall, I run from Him.

I know little of Christ’s fulfillment.
Today I want nothing of this Life.
