Take your time with me

line me up with your 1, 2, and 3

let my seconds add up to your minutes

so that for hours I can breathe you

I cannot be alone

I need you around the clock

from half past 8

to a quarter past 12

and to soothe my dreams in between

I want my mind fixated on you

minute men cannot fulfill my desires

because only you know what's true of my heart

so how can they claim to

how can I expect them to

fulfill

to fill my time with affections

that may temporarily convince me that I'm satisfied

when in actuality it takes time

for the soul to find self and mend the void of loneliness

so Lord...

continue to take your time with me

line me up with your 4, 5, and 6

your 7, 8, and 9, your 10, 11, and 12

and complete me through process

in time
