Questions for St. Augustine I
Is not the prayer requesting aid,
That part of me imbued in need,
Empty of your presence which fills heaven and earth,
But leaves my private nook neglected? And if you are
All present as in this pitcher of milk filled to the brim,
Ready to flow, are you not the thirst
That longs and waits?
