retreat hut

note to self

you don’t attend church
that stone-steepled place
your sanctuary is inside
an internal retreat hut
you do attend there
on a regular basis—
not only on Sundays
every single day
many times a day
in fact, you live there
rest in the big field
luminous realm
offer gratitude
remember
breathe
listen
pray
be

I’m writing a poem a day. These are drafts—they may never turn into anything more or they might flower.
