Echoes and Moments

Don't  Surrender  Your loneliness so quickly,  Let it cut more  Deep.  Let it ferment and season you  As few human  Or even divine ingredients can.  Something missing in my heart tonight  Has made my eyes so soft,  My voice so  Tender,  My need of God  Absolutely  Clear. -Sufi Master Hafiz

My Heart Breaks for you, Daughter of long sunsets I let so many of you down, Tears falling from eyes that I failed to tell Were so precious in sight not mine My heart Yearns for truth And lips with speech unleashed Passion to captivate a kindred near Our sight restored to horizons wide Unfailing in its courageous breadth My heart Streaked with spilled blood Poured out from crosses carried daily And lifted from night unto night Whispering words from the wounds I failed to let Love carry My heart Loves to love Heals each time you call And breaks each time we fall Bears new scars from ages gone by And dreams for a dawn's golden sky
