Bruderhof Daily Dig - I Fled Him

I Fled Him
Francis Thompson

I fled Him, down the nights and down the days;
I fled Him, down the arches of the years;
I fled Him, down the labyrinthine ways
Of my own mind; and in the mist of tears
I hid from Him, and under running laughter.


Lines from one who fled God but was later called back to him...
