Poem: To Desire

God, I desire not to play church

Nor to make others think I am good

Nor to do what I think

Will draw them to you

But I desire to be so in love with you

That I will do anything to be near you

That I will love others

because it makes me beautiful to you

that I will invite suffering

when I will find you there

that I will hang out by your streams

just to get a glimpse of you

that I will cry when I have not sensed you near

and will seek after you for hours

to know just one of your thoughts–

please, for one that is close to your heart
