Questions That Arise

Did you see me in the airport, in the restaurant, at the zoo
and only pretend not to see or were you so blind
in your pursuit of busyness that you
sincerely had no eyes to see?

What was your purpose of hiding truth from the world, 
from your family? Was it all in some attempt to hide
the truth from me and, if so, don't you know
by now all I know by heart?

Why do you feel now and then such a distaste for me
and treat me with such utter disregard? Do you see
how it only speaks of how you feel inside
about who you are?

Do you have any idea whatsoever what my choice
for truth has cost me? Or do you even know
what the lies you endorsed seized forever
from me? Or how God sustains me still?

Have you truly not allowed yourself to see how much we
are needed now? Is it really possible that you have
not been shown or is it, as I fear, that you simply
choose your will over God's?

These and all the other questions rise up and I 
release them to the doves that carry them
from me, then return to remind me of
two who pledged to live in peace

Answering the only questions that matters still:
Who will go for me? Who will help them see?
Who will lay down the battle sword?
Who will love unconditionally?
