impatient one
knowing beyond her years
and yet not
soul constantly searching, yearning
looking not for a place to rest and know Truth,
but a place to live and know it.
Hungry for all of it, as any thriving student
and yet as fearful as a young child
stepping forward, back; chancing upon; turning away.
nothing speaks the soul’s essence in a moment
quite so completely as a sigh;
coming from so deep within – so far, and yet not.
moments of quiet stillness
are the only ones in which she hears, (Truth)
flitting on the edges of consciousness
gentle, gentle spirits,
take her tears and hold them, hold her
that she may see their source.
