In the Background

I've been struggling with depression again
Mixed with harsh grief
And I appreciate You
Kind and patient
Even though there is work to do
And deadlines seem looming

I want You to know
That even when I am distracted
When there are 20 things on my To Do list
And I spend the day flying from one to the next

You are always there in my thoughts
On the edge of my brain
In my peripheral vision

I still yearn for You
Reach along that thin strand that connects us
Wanting Your warmth and presence
To fold myself into You
