I stand
at the foot of your bed
speech taken from me
breath haltingly found
the precious gift
I see before me
causes trepidation, fear
and a deep longing beyond understanding
I stand
at the base of your glory
staring intently
at the offering
yet unwilling, unable,
to reach out for it
my self-doubt plagues,
holding me firm to befuddlement.
Cannot comprehend why,
you show me, pitiful me
the path to nirvana.
I stand
at the precipice of joy
confusion, arousal, gratitude
fighting furiously
tearing my soul to shreds
yet never lighting upon
the granite statue you’ve invoked,
as I stand
at the ready
willing, wanting, needing
yet still unable to move
