In Your Presence

I'm naked...thirsty in front of your presence with no words in my mouth no wishes, no hopes nothing to offer. I'm naked...lost my heart is empty and my white clothes have been removed and I'm cold and tired. I'm naked...needy begging for your compassion with nothing to hide, here is the little girl-naked- do you remember her? I'm naked-waiting-freezing where are your wings? cover me! where is the water? give me to drink I'm naked...unfilled screaming in silence -hungry- where is the bread? I'm--in your presence--naked.
