Flood my Soul

Light your lantern
so that when I open my blind eyes
I may see a beacon in the darkness.
Call out my name
and I will open my deaf ears
to your welcome voice.
Help me to coax my tortoise heart
out of its rigid shell
so that I may open that, also,
and at last I can open my floodgates
so that your presence will pour
into the void that haunts my soul.
