💕

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of his hand.

A Poem for March 25


The Annunciation 
 El Greco (1590-1603)



Even if I don't see it again -- nor even feel it
I know it is -- and that if once it hailed me
it ever does --

And so it is myself I want to turn in that direction
not as towards a place, but it was a tilting
within myself.

as one turns a mirror to flash the light to where
it isn't -- I was blinded like that -- an swam
in what shone at me

only able to endure it by being no one and so
specifically myself I thought I'd die
from being loved like that.
