Nobody Else
midnight ramblings of an unlikely seussly saint

You and only You, dear Jesus,
can hold me, rescue me,
and save me,
safe from myself.

Save me from the soppy wallow of ego
from the mangly tangles of thought,
emotion and conviction,
resignation, exhilaration and supression

The who, the why and the when
then hows, then whats,

Oh, for me to soak up Your purposes
in my life and trust-thrust
provision and guidance
each step of the
way towards you.
Sweet communion,
wholy holy, sacred, scared
of separation, abandonment
abandoned with wild abandon;
Conversations of conservation.

Floss and flow,
each step a day
keener, more desperate
than the last
half step.

Sovereign, you are sovereign
still in my life,
live in, and live out.
Even if I do or do not
understand or be-live it.
Circumstances do not change it;
help me to realize
Your reality.

Save me from mindlessness
and from the plodding
humdrum of medriocrity
and excitability;
Busyness without aim
labor with no rest and
toil that is fruitless.

Ticktocking of inconsequentials
that go round
and round and round
only to begin and restart
where we end.
You and only You, dear Jesus,
can hold me, rescue me,
and save me,
safe from myself.

Agnus Dei,
qui tollis peccata mundi;
dona nobis pacem.
