Hunger
I look without
for what is within
and enfold only air...
imagining it to have the
substance that I seek:
The brilliance of suns,
the kindness of angels,
the gentleness of mothers
nursing their newborns,
the humor of the true sages,
the strength to stand and
the knowledge of what's needful
at the birth of each moment.
To hear the hum of the web
that connects All That Is,
dance with the spirits
and be the heart and hands and eyes
of the Creator.
