sigh
I want the love of God
pervade my life

Teresa had it
when she sought sacred ecstasy
as if to rise
with God
wings lent from angels
in
the revelation moments

and
then to come down to mortal living
for the nonce
yet with holy meaning
in the hours

and could I live with God
that way
if less
if domestically
to have earned presence somehow
through apartment living in
small towns

in such
plain hours
and a less-than-regular
me
hoping for more
