You Escape Me

You escape me
Through the hole in my faith.
I worship food and sleep,
This body’s cravings.

This mind is a tiny candle
Against the dark of this world.
The sun has set
Over the ocean of my soul’s rising.
My yearning mocks my effort.

Spring is almost here.

All I ask is
That you wash my soul
With water that lives.
