I place this word on the milk white screen
to begin,
the “I”. It is the beginning.I am never sure where to begin.
Yet I know
that if I listen I will hear,feel sound, ache with need to open my soul,
a flow,
water lapping gently atthe edge of a lake, licking stones smoothed
by time
and gentle caress. It is there.The word that begins, the “I”,
if I let go,
still myself, step aside and loose my grip.I watch word place itself on the
milk white screen,
emptying His tenderness from within me.
