Are you out there,
you OK?
can you hear me?
Are you thinking?
About breathing?
Are you lovin,
the new morning?
Are you digging?
The raw season,
and freedom, comes to save,
Are you singing?
a praise to eden,
are you committing?
to do no wrong,
Are you wondering?
how to comment,
on the bad play,
we're sometimes in,
Are you feeling,
full of new beginnings,
are you starting?
to lose the shame,
are you trying,
like I'm trying,
to find the Kingdom,
in the rain,
are you nervous?
sometimes devious?
when they ask us,
to say our name,
are you needful,
like I'm needful,
to know someone,
who shares the pain,
are you playful?
doubtful?
righteous and lonely,
humble,
mindful,
of dreams and forgetting,

Do you think we'll find?
the founding,
and wallow in this chance,
to walk with Christ in paradise,
or get stuck in the sand,
because we can't stand,
not knowing,
where we go from here.

Are you hearing?
the name I'm whispering?
in the mornings, before they wake,
in the shadows,
between the heartache,
and the true life and mistakes,

Are you reading,?
me in small verse?
there's nothing more honest,
than were I am...
