Poems

from In the Garden of Joy

We are in the vineyard of bliss
Hold me here so I can’t leave
Close the vineyard gate
So they can marvel from far away
Beat the drum of love for me
Let me dance until light
With the blanket of love cover me
Don’t let me suffer the freezing night.
 
If you’re not looking for food here
The breeze of love alone will fill you.
If we didn’t bathe for twenty years
The water of love would wash us clean.
If we didn’t build ourselves a home
Love would come and shelter us
With moonlight all around
Let our bodies entwine 
And bring the fire to life.
