With

With.

Not by my side,

Maybe to vanish

Not holding my hand,

Maybe to let go

Not behind

Maybe to let fall

But with –

My doubts

My fears

My pride

My joys

My loves.

Into some small space

Invited

A mystery of grace

Imparted

Love that would fill

and overflow all the world

should I, or you, allow it –

Hope,

Peace,

Love,

God with me,

God with us.
