LOOKING UP

 

Looking up, away from the persistent distractions.

The bright constellation directed her to follow

the path leading inside.

 

Seeing the womb of her heart open,

housing capacity for pain and joy, loss and hope.

Feeling the rhythm of humanity’s heartbeat,

the voices heard need no translation

for understanding.

 

The Journey’s Way is lit with the star,

and speaks in Love’s language

that leads always

To the Kingdom of God

and

away from the persistent distractions.
