each message

we are called 
might be in silence
yet
by some sense
spoken to

a message left for each
to open
when we and life
are
ready
only enough

and not
to wait ‘til all conditions
perfections done

but rather to find
by
whatever state

the sender waiting
on
the other side
of interference or inhibition
by a wall
or
door
the dark glass
or our own orneriness

to find
the sener
waiting
for
the chance for either side
to open
and
to greet and
to try
