might a dream-talk

speak a word in my night-mind

open some window in my deep sleep

and lead me from the dark to light?

*Some thoughts from Thomas Merton:

     -Contemplation is no pain-killer.

     -There is "no such thing" as God because God is neither a "what" nor a "thing" but a pure "Who."

     -God is the I Am before whom with our own most personal and inalienable voice we echo "I am."   

The Fear in the Heart of a Man

against an attacker I will boldly take my stand

because my heart will show faer 4 no man

but 4 a broken heart I run with fright

scared 2 be blind in a vulnerable night

I believe this fear is in every man

some will acknowledge it others will fail 2 understand

there is no fear in a shallow heart

because shallow hearts don't fall apart

but feeling hearts that truly care

 are fragile 2 the flow of air

and if I am 2 be true then I must give

my fragile heart

I may receive great joy or u may return it

ripped apart
