What do do when I am lonely?
Call my sister?
No, she's busy, likely.
Text a friend?
No, we'll talk, shortly.
Watch a movie?
Journal? Walk?
Check my email?
Post a thought?
What do do when I am lonely?
I know!
I'll read a book!
I do it.
I do it all.
But still the eyes fill and empty.
Still the emptiness gnaws.
What can curb it?
Wait!
I know this!
What to do when I am lonely?
Haven't I known it all along?
How could I have been so foolish?
How is it I misunderstood the invitation
With it knocking at my heart?
Hello, Jesus!
There you are!
Welcome in!
I may have tarried, but
Here I am.
