Focus

Seems like we are forever

double-checking the deadbolt

while God is wafting the world

in through the ductwork.

Forgive us when we fail

to live as you created us, O God.

Give us courage

to not allow the phobias

of our id to become

the focus of our faith.  

Protect us from confusing

the method for the message;

keep us gasping for the inspiration

of your challenging interpretation.
