I jump to catch the birds, run after the deer, grab for the fish.

Your kingdom, Lord, just out of my reach. I am a marvel of effort yet the starling remains beyond me.
Sit with me, lean towards me while I lean towards you. Who knocks and who opens?
While we debate, the creatures visit and tarry.
Distract me from my grasping, Lord.
(Letter #2,535)
