ask anything







"Ask anything,"

My Lord said to me.

And my mind and heart thought deeply 
for a second,

then replied with just one word,

"When?"

God's arms then opened up and I entered Myself.
I entered Myself when I entered
Christ.

And having learned compassion I
allowed my soul

to stay.
