God With Us

A Road to Emmaus Poem

I see you standing there

Awkwardly awaiting an invitation

Into conversation

To be honest

I’m a little tired...

A little rushed...

A little annoyed...

I don’t have the energy

To carry your burdens today.

You show me things

Of which you’re proud

And I give a courtesy smile

Hoping you’ll get the point

And just leave me alone

But you keep standing there

Waiting for me to invite you in.

May our hearts burn within in the presence of God-With-Us.

Blessings, friends.
