Shabbat


 

Just for an hour 

on a Spring morning,

give up being right.

The earth won't disappear.

You will.

Not being of the world 

refreshes the meadow. 

Just for an hour,

or even the time 

it takes to breathe,

allow the golden

swamp cabbage,

the shy forest

trillium to fill

your absence with joy.

Be irrelevant.

Let the snowdrops

flower without you.
