“I
was ready to be sought
         out by those who did
         not ask,
   to be found by those who
         did not seek me.”  Isaiah 65:1a
you
are
the answer
to
the questions
which
wake us up
in
the middle of the night,
and follow us 
like
a stray kitten 
each day;
you
are
the fork
in
the road we 
always
choose
not
to take;
you
are
the home
we
pass by 
in
our rush to
finish
each to-day list,
until
we pause and
notice
the rocker on the porch
has
our name on it.
