where would i rather be
than here?
for where other than here
can there be all
all that can be sought,
wanted,
hoped for,
than here…
for here
right here
You are. You the I of all I Am.
and would i not rather be
an usher at your door,*
a beholder, a welcomer, a watch
to herald, receive, witness, embrace
all that You call forth,
all that You send?
than any possible other thing?
this is no dormant day
no grasping, bated breath of wondering
whether good will come,
whether my time will come,
when things will be what they were meant to be,
watch,
see,
behold,
usher,
give thanks,
say yes,
open your eyes
the great Giver gives,
you are that giving,
the giving is given
no strings,
never fettered,
intended,
meant,
adored,
received
utter uttering praise
*I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God. Psalms 84:10
