God With Us: A Short Poetic Prayer

Your presence is here, God,
undeservedly placed within this
cracked
clay
vessel
but light bursting through each seam
catching the attention of some
fumbling about in the darkness
forgetting they are here and
unaware that you are.
Your presence is here, God,
pitched like a tent upon
uneven
rocky
terrain
but making a home nonetheless
reminding passersby and some
wandering about without shelter
that dwelling with you
means never being homeless.
Your presence is here, God,
thank you for being
God
with
us.
