so my soul longs for you, O God." Psalm 42:1
as the aging cat
lies in the same spot
(even on driech days)
where the sunbeam
has a daily appointment with it.
as the dog jumps
into the back seat
on crisp, autumn days
and stares at the window
until its best friend
buzzes it down.
as a parent sits
in the darkened room
waiting for the teenager's
car to pull into the driveway
after an evening out,
so i hanker for you,
God of my aching soul.
