Somewhere Else

I'm sorry, but I'm not here right now. Please leave my physical being a message, and I'll get back to you ASAP.


Somewhere Else

As my body trudges
and stumbles through the trials of the day,
I find myself in His land again,
floating among his creations.
My mind walks through your forests,
searching under every stone
for Your words of wisdom.
My heart, however,
moves further and further away,
for, just as Your son did,
I have split myself between
those closest to me.
As they walk through
the wide world,
I'm but a stride behind them,
always there if they need me.
If you call for me,
I'll be there,
while everyone else
will go straight to voicemail.
And my spirit,
well it's right here,
on this page, staring you in the face,
loving you for you.

Long ago, I searched
for the words to say
day after day.
Thanks to you,
my life has reason
and purpose,
and I no longer feel alone.
Words can never reflect my gratitude.
