the vow
we tremble in the presence
we are divinely human here and now
returning to ourselves is our only advance.
in adoration of all, our one heart’s desire
the temple we will enter, our bodies the sacred tau
lives of longing and love, forbearance and fire.
or will we endlessly seek, asking in vain, ever again
how does it feel, to come forth and take the vow?
doubting the answer, affirms only the cause of our pain
and to the lonely sorrows we return, for somehow
we cannot face our forgiveness as self ordained.
