Gone Haywire

How far
I have fallen
       from your grace.
The stone I dropped into
the breach last week has yet to
       find bottom.
Can you forgive the silence
      from my heart aware  ~
offering excuse and justification
       unending until I am ashamed
that I thought I could ever hide from you.
       Hear me, Father.  Can you forgive me this
detour into black lowlands?

I see your light ahead.  On humbled knees, God, will you
have me back . . .
