Let us wander bravely

Let us roam across
The untrodden land
Lightly like pilgrims
With solitude in hand

Let us stray from the path
To faraway dreams
Into the wilderness
Of unmapped mysteries

Let us wander bravely
Adown the spirit-bloomed fields
In rain-freshened moonlight
Bewinged and free

A hole in the wall

His soul
was knocking
on the walls
of her heart

and she finally
took courage
and carved a hole
in the wall
just big enough
to let him in

Courage

My faith
blossomed
into courage
when you
cupped your hands
around my heart
and promised
to hold it
forever
