Poem: Point in the Heart


Point in the Heart

This point in the heart --
its sharp contrast between
Divine Intention and my yearnings --
pierces and makes me weep.

The temptation in this suffering
Lures me with false promises,
Creates daydreams of loving with all my heart,
Sends nightmares to shame me for that longing.

With this point in the heart,
God plucks my soul and, every now and then,
Sends me a messenger who wants to know
If I still love.

The answer: “Yes, and always.
What more proof is needed beyond
My longing to know the Great Love behind
These tears and dreams?”
