i watch the faithful kneel,   their eyes soft with trust,   like they’ve found the answer   to everything.   i search for that peace. a cross resting   close to their chest,   as if God lives right there,   in the space beneath their ribs. i wonder; could i hold a god in my heart the way they do? — strong, unshaken, a savior, to hold me, when i forget how to stand. i wonder if the light they pray to could ever find its way through the darkness of my sinful heart. maybe one day.
