Invocation in a Parking Lot on a Saturday in Spring

 

I’m here

You’re here

You’re where I was

 

Even when I don’t know

Or might choose otherwise

Such is sin

You do better than the

French

And the Pimpernel

You don’t hide

It was Adam and Eve who hid

For vanity and shame

Pointing everywhere

But to the heart

 

Wake my heart, O God

Goad me to love, as you must

Because I won’t have it any other way
