Admission

Everything exists at the same time.

If I love you now, I loved you then.

Time plays tricks. Our minds believe it.

If we were God, we could love each at once.

But we are only part of God.

The part our consciousness admits.

I admit I love you.

Moment

Melting into you I take a new form

Dying in your arms each night to arise again

Your taste drenching my senses

Delicious smells of you lingering

Your touch bruised into my arm...my mark of love...

Millay

Poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay

To The Wife Of a Sick Friend

Shelter this candle from the wind.

Hold it steady. In its light

The cave wherein we wander lost

Glitters with frosty stalactite,

Blossoms with mineral rose and lotus,

Sparkles with crystal moon and star,

Till a man would rather be lost than found:

We have forgotten where we are.

Shelter this candle. Shrewdly blowing

Down the cave from a secret door

Enters our only foe, the wind.

Hold it steady. Lest we stand,

Each in a sudden, separate dark,

The hot wax spattered upon your hand,

The smoking wick in my nostrils strong,

The inner eyelid red and green

For a moment yet with moons and roses,—

Then the unmitigated dark.

Alone, alone in a terrible place,

In utter dark without a face,

With only the dripping of the water on the stone,

And the sound of your tears, and the taste of my own.

Will You Call My Name?

March ended with such promise...

April rushed in with new love's blush.

May flowered, and so did we.

But June came,

and the open blossoms felt faint.

Petal by petal,

fluttering, falling,

'til only the core remained.

Even that held hope.

But July bore down,

threatening even the core.

Will we remember May

Or will the ravages of July remain?

Will we remember June

And will you call my name?

The Way I Pray

Our Father, who art in heaven,

Hallowed be thy Name.

Thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done,

On earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses,

As we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,

But deliver us from evil.

[For thine is the kingdom,

and the power, and the glory,

for ever and ever.]

Our Father who art in Heaven,

Our Mother who art on Earth,

Blessed are your Names.

Thy Presence be acknowledged:

As above, so below.

Sustain us each day

And forgive us as

We forgive ourselves and others.

Lead us out of the Darkness

And into the Light.

Everything we are

Exists now and forever.
