“Inside the
river there is an unfinishable story
and you are
somewhere in it” - Mary Oliver -
my prayers
are poems
poems are
my prayers
and I
follow my feelings
for they
are truth
like they
were God’s voice
inside me
they tell
me what to do only
if I can get
quiet enough to hear
listening is an art
I don’t
think I ever fell
deeper
still and deeper
quietude in
the center of a river
into a
bottomless grief
I don’t think
I ever lost so much
and I still
feel everything
a bottomloss multitude
sadness in so many shades
like a
river running through my soul
this is the
highest state
the water around
me
sheds
stillness darkness into my longing
but
something is cracking
unfinishable
and I know you to be there
