all these grasping hands

Posted on May 24th, 2007 by Metta : metaphorical longshoreman Metta
is that your eye, lord, that twinkles
your lips that kiss
your hand that moves over me like warm water  

you are the wine of my drunkeness
you are his voice that dives deeply  

you are the backward walk I take
when it gets too much  

even with all these grasping hands
it is always yours that I am reaching for

For God's sake Metta, call the Guy up. Go out for a grainburger. Take Him dancing. You're killing me here. Nobody does it better.:o)

First, my heart did that squeezy-stop thing and I thought, “What an amazingly beautiful poem about God!” Then I wondered if I was twisted and it wasn't about God at all. Then I saw you tagged it with 'god', so I am going to go with 'if I am twisted, you are too'. haha.

it's the best (and only way) to be twisted… to find God in everything… yes, it was about earthly love and finding God in it… and how in that search/experience, there is only reaching for God's hands…

yeah, I'm twisted… glad to find a kindred twisted “sister” :o )
