Fill the empty spaces of my life, O Lord,and flood them with your very presence: those hidden places in my heartwhere I so long to love you more(and to be cherished!); those quiet corners of my house and spacious rooms where I livewaiting for my guests; those silent hourswhen no one is aroundto listen to the little doings of my dayor unravel the thoughts tangled in my mind; and that still solitudein which I grieve the life once lived with sistersand mourn my parents’ early absence. Yes, meet me in these empty spaces, Lord,and make of eacha lovers’ trysting place. This poem © 2021 by Jeanne Kun is included in a book…
