Poem  

Mary Oliver, from "Making the House Ready for the Lord"  

“Dear Lord, I have swept and I have washed  

but still nothing is as shining as it should be  

for you.  

Nevertheless,  

I am here,  

and I am trying.  

And every now and again,  

something so luminous rises inside me  

I am sure it is you arriving.”
