I am willing to come contrite,
I am willing to come silly,
I am willing to be seen as I am,
however long I have resisted it
Bring me home -
I am willing to be cleansed
as I go, to let these crusted edges
fall away. I'm tired of pretending
that I know stuff,
I am willing to be led by the hand
It's been a long time in this hamster wheel,
driven by illusions of progress
and falling behind -
I'm ready to be done with time,
to have all of its structures
proved to be nothing -
no huge monstrosity
needing to be corrected,
no pit we can't dig ourselves out of
I'm willing to be part
of the great awakening,
eager for you to bring me home.
