In Your Presence
I'm naked...thirsty
in front of your presence
with no words in my mouth
no wishes, no hopes
nothing to offer.
I'm naked...lost
my heart is empty
and my white clothes
have been removed
and I'm cold and tired.
I'm naked...needy
begging for your compassion
with nothing to hide,
here is the little girl-naked-
do you remember her?
I'm naked-waiting-freezing
where are your wings?
cover me!
where is the water?
give me to drink
I'm naked...unfilled
screaming in silence
-hungry-
where is the bread?
I'm--in your presence--naked.
