I, Me and Other
Poetry by Gill Schwartz


SEEKING

Since earliest memory, and before...
God hounded, God tormented, God exalted.
Expecting approbation,
I am despised
Needing care, craving comforting,
I am orphaned.
No one to lead, none to comprehend.
Guilt alone I bear for my blind steps
toward Your Voice.
Well of pus and longing,
Festering ache of the darkness
that surrounds me,
Burning with the hope
of that Life You promise,
I have none to turn or cling to,
my Scourge and Redemption,
but You.
