Not
why suffering, why grief
why manipulation or unkindness
-- but that you are with me
that I am never truly alone:
this
I understand,
this creates a filligreed cage
of protection around my heart.
I'm participating again this year in #blogElul, an internet-wide carnival of themed posts aimed at waking the heart and soul before the Days of Awe. (Organized by Ima Bima.) Read #blogElul posts via the Elul tag; you might also enjoy my collection of Elul poems which arose out of #blogElul a few years ago, now available in print and e-book form as See Me: Elul poems.
