I wish I could show you
when you are lonely or in darkness
the Astonishing Light
of your own being!
We Should Talk about this Problem
There is a beautiful creature
living in a hole you have dug.
So at night
I set fruit and grains
and little pots of wine and milk
beside your soft earthen mounds
and I often sing.
But still, my dear,
you do not come out.
I have fallen in love with Someone
who hides inside you.
We should talk about this problem–
otherwise, I will never leave you alone.
