I can say the words
I can speak the words
Enough times so that the next time,
Stoking them, I can even
Elicit these feelings of intensity
Oh but that would be me doing all the work
Or I can seek out a Person
And when I find Him and go before Him
Well, there’s nothing else I need to do
(At all don’t you see?)
Like going out one blazing afternoon
To meet a lover along the river bank
And from a distance, in that near minute,
Something deep inside leaps by sight alone
