A Merciful Withholding

A Merciful Withholding

there is an astounding tale

for which

i’ll never have

the right words

because it’s all

so much more

than we could ever know

even through our dreams

this semi-consciousness

this pampered,

sheltered ignorance

we call our selves

we call,

our lives

is such a merciful

withholding

from a Love

of such staggering scale

and unconditionality

your heart

could hardly bear it

without bursting
