You Alone

All the chipping away; all the changing things;

All the things done to fill the emptiness

But doesn’t.

All the building; all the gathering;

All the ungathering done to ease the boredom;

But doesn’t.

When I stop; when I look; when I listen;

It’s then I find Your Presence.

Hidden in the field; among the other pearls;

In the first place I would look; in the last place I would look;

That is where You are,

Waiting for me.

You alone fill the emptiness; You alone ease the boredom;

You alone fill my soul.

You alone feed my soul.
