This week’s poem in the Catholic Poetry Room is by Ogonna Kanu.
UNNOTICED
(in honor of the Blessed Sacrament)
Unnoticed
I leave all outside
To draw into Your presence
Somewhat unsure
Somewhat confident
I lean my head
On your chest
To whisper
Why
How
When
If
And feel the soft caress of grace
Here, I am
I sit still
Savoring sweet seconds
In the pleasure of knowing
Your gaze upon me
Unveil the lies
Behind my eyes
Your listening ear
Won’t doubt my heart
I am like this
With no one else
As I came
I slip…
