where do I belong


There hasn’t been much to say recently

Mostly I’ve just been looking for God 
When it’s too dark to see 
And asking for answers I don’t have

Lately I’ve been noticing small gifts
And they seem so vital

Like the sun on our walls
In the morning
Through the leaves 
That weren’t there a week ago
Our library
A breeze
Strawberry season
A new pair of sweat shorts

Lately I’ve been trying to notice the good 
Alongside the bad and hold it right there—
The tension
And stare it in the eyes

And still I don’t know what to do with it

So much is wrong
And still the birds are singing right now 
And someone got married yesterday 
And twin babies were born 
And I laughed

And still it is Tuesday 
And everywhere people are dying
And the sun is shining

And where do I belong?
