Forty-Two Surrenders to Desire

January 6, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is Insight and Revelation, in honor of Epiphany, which is celebrated today, January 6.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A number poem about the revelations that come through surrender:

Forty-two surrenders to desire,

Opening the door to greet the wind.

Revelation ever comes unbidden,

The gift of sight to those who travel blind,

Yielding all a pilgrim might require.

To love is to go through an open fire,

Witness to what life one has been given

Only after fear is left behind.
