Purpose

There is darkness
yet in your light it dissolves
as you fill its emptiness

Darkness is not destroyed
but transformed
in the union of your presence

The quality of the bowl never changes
but is simply either being emptied or filled
yet the bowl remains
true to its purpose
whether empty or full

If I see God
in this world or in your face
what else remains

If I fail to see God
it's not because God is absent
but because of the absence
in my eyes
