the camera in my brain clicks
to capture the golden leaf
midair on its once-in-a-lifetime descent
later that evening
bidding farewell to 5 young treasures
sporting their "you are here" t-shirts
I remember a long-forgotten lesson on prayer

the journey to now, the journey to here
in all the possible when's and where's of the risen Jesus
every time I turn my face to Him
right now, right here
He is
