QADOSH QADOSH QADOSH*

 

(Take off your sandals for the place where  you

 are standing is holy ground, said God to Moses.

 Exodus 3:5)

 

Empty of love

 

Hungry for love

 

I ache for God

 

Deep within

The shutters closed

On a lonely universe,

 

The inner recess

Flings them wide:

Here I am

 

They who dare win?

They who dare

Do or die

 

Let me see. Come

Let my famished eyes

Feast on your beauty.

 

My quivering self

Is stilled by awe.

The silence is heavy,

 

Alive, bursting

Into the vacuum,

Ecstatic shout explodes

 

I surrender

In a million

Tiny fragments

 

Holy Holy Holy
