Oh world, give me a sign

Oh world, take me by the hand

And lead your daughter to her next adventure

Oh world, take my heart into your precious hands

And don’t tell me I’m not good enough

Because I won’t believe it

Not even for an instant

Oh world, cradle this body in your humble embrace

So that I may better know the meaning of a single touch

Oh world, unfold before me the greatness that you have in store

For it is in your secrets

That truth can be told

Oh world, please do not hide your love

It is not fair

Your illusive nature

It is only sane that you should

Call me into being

And ring my name from the

Highest mountaintop

Oh world, don’t go stomping on my dreams

Because it is through your words that I have learned

The importance of connection

Oh world, how could you let him leave?

How could you let him go and not leave a single sign to where, or if

Or what

Or who

            Or why

                        Or how am I supposed to finish this task of being human

This task

I asked, but none was given

Oh world, how come you are so cold

On days when I need you to be the warmest

Oh world, do you know the power you have

Over

This poor soul

Oh world, stop your tricks, and give me something

TANGIBLE

Oh world, I beg of you

One simple favor

An answer in response to my desperate cries for guidance

A sign when I’m straining my eyes

At least a clue that might direct me to

Your benevolence

Not off the edge of that cliff that is looming

Ever nearer

Oh world, how can I repay you for all that I have received

Oh world, don’t go holding out on me,

Not now, not right now

And don’t you go takin’ me for granted either
