Right now always

Looking about ourselves

right now

we dare not believe

what God himself

wants us

dares us

begs us

to believe

which is that he is there.

And there.

And there.

And there.

And here.

Right now

always.

“It cannot be!” we say to ourselves

It cannot be.

We, after all, know better.

We, after all, know the ways

of this unforgiving world.
