The Journey of Prayer and Devotion
Poetry by Gill Schwartz
THE PATH OF DESPERATE DEVOTION
This self does not drift away
like a snowflake,
nor shed as a useless vestige,
nor simply melt in the warmth
of His Love,
My soul rips and tears
and shrieks
as, cell by cell,
it is consumed
in my mad Longing
with no guarantee of resurrection.
Selah
