when God asked Solomon
what he most
desired, Solomon, the
judge, asked for a
listening heart.
i would ask for an
open heart, as welcoming as
space.
the heart is no stranger to
infinity or
emptiness, galaxies or
stars.
light & shadows come &
go.
pain, fear, &
anxiety move
on.
unicorns, giants &
dragons,
devils, angels &
demigods leave no
sign.
except love.
for this heart is blessed by
love
& this
blessing is the origin of
hope & kindness &
paradise.
here everything
beautiful is
possible
as love journeys
freely
on.
if i were blessed
with an open
heart
the all-there-is &
love would
surge through
me
& in the
center of my
heart love
would
bless me &
bestow my
blessing–
a sign for all the
universe to
grow––
an infinitesimal
more radiant & more
tender.
