Don’t tell me,
don’t talk to me,
don’t stand in my way.
You think I don’t know
that even on a good day
I am morally ambiguous?
That’s because I need to see,
to find out for myself what is
and what is not.
Don’t ask me to
agree with your views,
believe in one thing,
behave in one way
or join your gang.
I can’t, I won’t,
it’s not for me.
I don’t believe that God
favours Clubs or Churches,
or Temples or Synagogues anyway,
or lives in signs or statues either.
I believe God is in the wild places
the difficult places, the places
where His Light is needed.
And the most difficult place I know
is my own heart, a heart that trembles
with fear and anticipation
in the face of what life brings.
Thank You David.
