JML - PLOGS
No penance, just stay.
Sitting, I hear myself exhale
Noticing, I feel my breath's warmth
A flame flickering, inside ruby glass
Sends a silent invitation --
Desiring nothing more
Everything -- all of it
Whatever it was
Surfacing depths of my interior
Unwinding from my mind
As if a flood hit that flame
Yet, not at all extinguishing
In my own furious existence,
I've yelled at the wind
I've yelled at the rain
To no avail-- I got mad at a rose one day
And WHY?--
Notions evade articulating that pain
Yet in the sanctuary
A known invitation
No penance, just stay.
