sun-soaker

I am a sun-soaker.
casually accepting my invitation
to a luxury windowsil
where I find a robe of light
thrown around my shoulders
by a warm and dear friend.
give me no vacant conversations
to pass the time;
only let me sit, and soak, and shine.
I am a sun-soaker.

I am a sun-soaker.
my back against the glass that
sends tingles to my toes.
not chills as you may perceive
but thoughts of summer on my doorstep
tapping light as she may please.
I am a sun-soaker.

I am a sun-soaker.
it is true.

teach me

teach me Father to follow you.
to crave the complex simplicity of giving oneself to the cause.
to glorify You is to walk in your footsteps.
by faith, not by sight.
I love you Jesus.
