looking to pray
and find He who will appear
before me, a shadow past the frame
but the shade is behind
facing the other way
and I’m left to the floor
my feet will never touch
desiring the day
a light will come
before all that made me still
to move out of sight
in the heretoafter.
in paradiso ego sum
