A Poem


Don't surrender your loneliness so quickly
let it cut more deep
let it ferment and season you
as few human or even divine ingredients can


Something missing in my heart tonight
has made my eyes so soft.
my voice so tender
my need of God
absolutely clear.


~Hafiz~


If you dig deeply
under the layers of your skin
into the knots and twists of your heart and soul
what are your fears?


Take fear to dinner
Romance it
Dance it
(a little salsa never hurts)
