POEMS
"What Fire Comes to Sing in You"
A Blessing
from her book, The Cure for Sorrow
This blessing
had big ideas
about what it wanted
to say,
what it wanted you
to know,
to see.
This blessing wanted
to open your eyes
to the joy that lives
in such strange company
with sorrow—
wanted to make sure
to tell you,
lest you forget,
that no matter how long
it seems absent,
no matter how quiet
it becomes,
joy has never
been far from you,
holding a space
of celebration,
watching for you,
humming as it
keeps vigil.
But now that
it comes time
to speak it—
comes time to
lay these words
on your brow,
your beating heart—
all this blessing
can think to say is
Look—
your life
a candle,
this day
a match.
Strike it and see
what blazes,
what fire comes
to sing in you.
