listen 

closely

to the whisper

of your heart

re minding you

to re member

who you are

essential link

in a sacred chain

of being

blessed

to a blessing

delight full life

awakening
to daylight
bare toes

this day
i elect
to step softly
upon concrete

be love
what part

unlovable
in you
and
from that
place
of loving
that part
of you
be love
in
the world

on the way out

live that
