LIFE Poem: Psalm of the Invisible, by Ian Johnson

My world looks at me and never does see.
Some see my treasure and round it hover,
Others see but inconvenience in me.
Most see nobody, life that was never.
I was born only thus to disappear.
Yet my ignorant, secret faults cause pain
When those who once saw me, now, as I fear
See nothing in me, and pleas for mercy vain.
But you, Lord, have forgiven all my stain
When I seek you for grace and peace you hear
You see and remain my greatest lover
Though to the world invisible like me.
But my cries you hear and my relief ordain
A way of safety through my greatest fear
And real to you I will always remain
And you will keep all those we hold dear!
You have made us your treasure forever
Together you have made us ever free
In each other now to you uncover.
I look for your face and all the world I see!
