Miles & Mercy — No. 02 You Belong to Me

I didn't sit down to write a poem. 

I was somewhere between tired and still — the kind of still that only comes after a long stretch of road — and these lines just came out. Not performed. Not planned. Just what was true in that moment about what I've come to understand, slowly, over a lot of miles. 

That God doesn't show up loudly in my life. 

He shows up constantly. 

There's a difference. 

I've been learning to notice the second kind.

This poem is what that looks like. 

God said, I need you to be here. So I was.

He said, I need you to be there. So I was.

He said, see Me in this flower. So I did.

See Me in this tree. So I did.

He said, I am with you even when you don't notice. I am with you even when you don't hear Me. I have been here with you in every moment, in every breath.

I am with you. And you belong to Me. 

Written April 30, 2026 — somewhere quiet, somewhere real.
