Saved

Building this house brick by brick, I glue words together cemented in context. Inhabiting this space designed with living stones, I search each corner for clues as to where I can find you. You are hidden from me and have been since the birth of time. Separation from you is painful, but no man can see you and live. I choose life among desert sands. Every rise and fall of the earth encountered through Google Maps is an invitation for exploration, a world revealing itself through every excavation that your word is true. Every breath in me is elevated and repeated. My wandering heart is held fast in your hands. The fall has been repeated. Pole vaulting mountains, I land victorious on my feet in each valley running to my next Olympic event. I look outside at the cut grass, at the mailbox, at the street paved and I know I have been saved.
