Just sit there right now
Don’t do a thing
Just rest.
For your separation from God,
From love,
Is the hardest work
In this
World.
Let me bring you trays of food
And something
That you like to
Drink.
You can use my soft words
As a cushion
For your
Head.

beautiful. through you, i have discovered some wonderful, spiritual poetry. many thanx!
Oh my, this is music to my ears! Thank you so much. It is Joseph Riley at Panhala yahoo group, who I credit for exposing me to poetry of this genre. He sparked a love for it in me that I am happy to pass along.
