One place understood helps us understand all places better.

The poems on this page will generally be about the human condition and spiritual needs. These cannot be separated though some may try.

No, the heart must hold fast

The heart doesn't desire,
that's foolish talk

The loins might desire
the head certainly does.


Congregate in my heart

Congregate in my heart, O Lord
joy and peace
forgiveness and giving
a lightness in my bearing
a turning toward heaven.
