Sometimes,
when the Divine
enters your Heart
It’s like a failed love
showing up on
your doorstep
with promises
to resolve all
bad feelings.
But more often,
it’s a stray cat
crossing your threshold:
she rushes past you
and heads
straight
for
the
milk,
As though she had lived there
all along.

Sometimes,
when the Divine
enters your Heart
It’s like a failed love
showing up on
your doorstep
with promises
to resolve all
bad feelings.
But more often,
it’s a stray cat
crossing your threshold:
she rushes past you
and heads
straight
for
the
milk,
As though she had lived there
all along.
