Open Door

February 12, 2017/ Nick LeForce

I bear this life
with a new grace
having found peace
in myself, a sanctuary
for the secret sharer
whose embrace
is wide enough
for the whole of me,
as if I am the soul-er system:
the sun and the moon,
the night and the day,
the sea and the sky,
the seasons and the cycles of life,
and the seeds of love
in a future flourishing.

I can only get a tiny glimpse,
an almost infinitesimal
point of reference
for that which is,
and I am blown away.
My heart grants me
this open door to the divine,
gives me this invitation to a life
of untold riches, right here, right now
and says, “Watch it spread
like a wild fire across the world.”
