Don't Come Alone

 

No need for me
to tell you

my Master's name.

No need to show you

my Savior's face.

Just come a little

nearer to my chest

and you will catch fire.

I know the world hurts.
But there is a very safe place
right here where

this breath arises,

this pulse is born,

and the moon drinks

all the light she needs
from the bright stream

of the heart’s silence.
Rest here, friend.

Don't be afraid.
And don't come alone.
Bring thousands with you.
