seven::nineteen

Let me go to the desert
to close my eyes,
to open my eyes,
to see the way I was meant to.

A burden can come in many forms,
and one will find me ever so often.

I must go to the mountain
to hear a voice,
to be given a voice,
to know voices and words.

A name can possess numerous themes,
I hope for mine to move from Man to Peace.
With grace I enter my heart,
to find the light,
to become a light,
to contemplate light.

This burden is worth considering,
another carrying it along, humbly.

Unburned and fiery branch,
send me to the sands
and upon a tall rock,
to be introduced to a heart,
my heart, made to be silent
and orate in turn by the Spirit.


(Exodus 3:13-20, Psalm 105, Matthew 11:28-30)
