I vowed to be still in my heart
just long enough
for words to form
to comfort all that was
unsettled in me.
And then I found
the comfort came before
the words,
in my willingness to be
with all that is here —
in the presence of
my own soul.

When It Is Needed Most
I hold this space
in my heart
in honor
of all that has seemed
unhealable,
all that continues
to reach
when it would have been
understandable to give up
the search.
I hold this space
because I know
I don’t hold it alone
and because I have felt
the relief
in finding a safe place
when it is needed most.
Amen
