Soul

The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience.

Emily Dickinson

In the beginning I thought the
whispering of secrets gave soul
and depth and I should
tell you everything, always.
I didn't want to stand
on my own, so I left my days ajar
thinking you might someday ready
yourself and step up to
be with me, welcome
me into your thoughts the
way I brought you, ecstatic
into the gentle rhythm of my experience.
