Awake To God S Touch
Dedicated to Charlie Cooper, poet brother, R.I.P.
,
Awake to God’s Touch +++
Desperate prayers
Shouted, even silently
Howling heavenward:
Begging, pleading
Again
For God to come…
Poignant prayers
Revealing struggles,
And needing help
to go on through
Present straits; to be
Embraced through
Aloneness and fears.
Those prayers pause
Often near despair —
feeling ignored:
With no attained
communion felt.
But, child of God,
Know that in your
Seeking…
Is of God’s leading,
And his calling, his
Touching invitation
That brought you to
Your asking-prayers.
Our most holy
**I AM** stays
…Wanting, waiting
For you to sense and
— at last…realize he
Is ever-present
Within your
Believing, opening,
*Expecting*heart…
