I think You misunderstood.
When I asked You to show Yourself
I was thinking of something like a rainbow
or a spider web laden with liquid prisms
in the early morning

or a miracle, maybe
if You had the time.

This isn't what I asked for.
All I needed
was a little impersonal awe
to soften my long-
hardened heart.

Did You really have to break my faith in me
To get me to put my faith in You?
Tongue-in-cheek, but honest. And maybe a little humorous? I hope? In a "if you want God to laugh, tell Him your plans" kind of way?

All my life I've been praying that God would give me a heart for Him. This, my friends, is "be careful what you wish for" at its finest.

It sounds like the disappointment that came when I found out that God is just the world itself.
