birthday project remembering continued

cross purposes

 
at cross purposes still
I want the easy way
I am the good thief
wrongly accused
suffering
but my heart of darkness
knows
I am the bad thief
 blaming god
who has forsaken me

at the Center
where the broken arms meet
my heart opens
the paradox to surrender
and I declare
not my will but thine
be done
