"hither" by s.jones

Was surrounded by lovers

Felt myself capsizing

Drowning in my lonely sea

Wondering if He’d seen me

Cared enough

To reach out

& save me.

Could He read my thoughts

Understand my mind

Been blessed with the gift of foresight

To know whose I was

& why I was

Allowing myself to be baptized

In that moment

Amongst strangers?

Did He ache as much as I

Contemplate as much as I

Placate as much as I

Feeling them all out

Over & over again

Until each pawn was fully played?

Had he grown tired too

Wondered out into the sea

Looking for a reason

To stay afloat

Just a bit longer?

In saunters

Bliss

Ecstasy

Fullness

Erosion

Eternity repeat.
