I ghosted God 
The other day;
Each time he showed
I turned away.

I went to church--
Ignored my pastor.
A flaming sunset--
I walked faster.

Turned on the radio--
Right off again;
Not quite in the mood
For Joy.FM.

The birds were singing--
I looked down.
My friend smiled--
I wore a frown.

I ran from God
The whole day through--
He kept showing up
As I withdrew.

Evening came,
I dropped my phone--
In my bedroom
All alone.

I whispered “Lord,
Don’t let me drift;
I know your presence
Is a gift.”

I wasn't alone
For You were there--
Closer than
My shaky prayer. 

The stars shone down,
The night was deep--
My smile returned
As I fell asleep.
