Speak To Me
Speak
To Me
speak to me
when you wake up
this morning,
while i can still hear
the sweet warmth
and molten notes
of sleep
in the softened chords
of your throat
tell me how you felt
when you prayed
in the dead of night
until dawn,
how the heaviness
in your heart
and the knot
in your chest
melted away
tell me how
your throat tightened
and tears welled up
in your eyes
when your kiss
was returned
in prostration
tell me how it was
that while the whole world slept
and you were
the only one awake
not for a moment
did you feel alone
or afraid
as you whispered
beautiful Names
to the click
of your rosary beads
how the shadows
that haunt you
softened and dissolved
and that voice
of rancour
and despair
became totally silent
tell me how
only in the darkness
and silence
of this world
did you know
what it was like to be
in the other world
in your Beloved’s arms
and steeped
in His Love
