Where is the Kingdom?

There is no place
no border or crossing
to find and to enter
this kingdom

It is a center,
an obedience in the dark.
It is a center
to live from and toward

It is a quiet stubborn
center that is nowhere
except everywhere one traces
the contours of His heart

Only to find that we
are those contours
that He traces.

Ah! here I am, Lord.
