"Perfect openness born of complete self-surrender, brings us into uninhibited contact with God." Thomas Merton

My soul's a sheet

of flat paper,

unfolded and featureless 

until your hands press

and pinch, pleat

my stubborn fears

to your desire.

You know what fills

my nascent core

and never give me up

but with your strength

to fine edge crease

and make of me at last 

angel's wings.
