You Can't Start The Spiritual Journey Until You Have A Broken Heart

Take the edge of the past,

not the whole

just the edge,

the way the art teacher

said You Blink Too Much,

the way the English teacher said

Your Father Must Have Written This-

It's Too Good . . .

This must be why

God started talking to me

in my own voice with

thoughts of

consequence and

ideas I never knew,

in my own voice,

even though I thought

a better one surely

should be found,

and certainly could be found-

It sounded at first

like a fiery sun

and a silk moon

spinning through me,

in tongues

and languages

I finally understood

but fast- so fast-

by the time I got the pen

it was gone.
