“Lose thyself...”
We do not come to the doors of God
nor stir the dust of the chapel road
assured that we should feel proud
of what the journey was
It wasn’t strength of will that brought
us here, or that our debts were paid
ahead of time and left behind:
this is no place for cause
And we may think ourselves well dressed
and breakfasted with our own houses
put in order, as if by this
we’re ready to be blessed,
But this is not a place where we are sought;
we are the seekers, here for what we’re not.
