Wrestling the Angel
why
why did you come to wrestle with me
at the dawn?
i survived, it's true:
i wrestled with you
struggling to embrace you
but you left me
limping
weary and afraid
:is it you? returning again
returning again returning again
whispering to me: I am still here, I am still here
i wrestle with you
i wrestle with you
growing more
exhausted and pained
knowing i must learn
to embrace you
not to fear
the breath of your presence
your footfalls in my camp
because your name
is written on my heart
It is my own.
