Life is a lotus.
\nA crack in the heavens
\nemitting light.
\nGod is a thread of fire,
\na scarf of words
\non the horizon.
\nFaith is a mystery,
\na sacred bloom.
\nIt happens to souls
\nas simple as mine.
\nTo souls that rise like phoenixes
\nand walk in volcanoes.<\/p>\n
We stumble in our darkness.
\nWe forget our amazement,
\nand lose the laughter of God.
\nThe sacred crumbles
\nin our hands,
\nin denial.
\nThen,
\nfrom the corner of our eye,
\nin the pause
\nbetween weeping and sleeping,
\nthere is a declaration of love.<\/p>\n
Faith comes from the forest,
\nfrom the ceiling,
\nknocks on the door,
\nroars from the ocean,
\nand kisses us,
\nasks,
\nwhere have you been?
\nAnd puts its arm around us,
\nlike a child
\nbeing the pal that stayed
\nwith us,
\nwhen we were four.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
