Beloved Teresa

Beloved Teresa, you gave the sisters

guidance. I need it, I need you, now

I need to see love taking form

I need to feel your gentle

hand, marble essence, between

my shoulder blades

How may we make this just fine to

make that just fine?

What can I do, with grace and love

who must I be with my children

with my projects just fine with my vision

just fine with my business just fine with

the people who show up just fine, desiring

tending, desiring questions, desiring

that gentle tug and nudge and

oh so gentle leaning just fine

Beloved Teresa, you gave the sisters

guidance. I need it, I need you, now

I need to see love taking form

I need to feel your gentle

hand, marble essence, between

my shoulder blades

I feel your answer in moving beyond

the just fine.

I feel your answer moving my fingers

massaging my forehead,

“You, me, she, we so far

beyond when you, me, she, we

climb into the heart of the one

who created us… and surrender,

allow, open, lean back….

Beloved Teresa, you gave the sisters

guidance. I need it, I need you, now

I need to see love taking form

I need to feel your gentle

hand, marble essence, between

my shoulder blades

Sister, let me lean into you

and yours, love

Feel that descent that sweet

acceptance that weightlessness

that ecstacy that light…

Beloved Teresa…..
