When you break the silence

Posted on March 23, 2015 by Meisaan Chan

You will then need courage to face the brokenness
but brokenness by compassion will heal
brokenness by fear will remain
brokenness by resentment will petrify

Equations

Posted on March 20, 2015 by Meisaan Chan
 
You keep trying to use equations
to understand my love, says the Lord:
you think you can add to it
or multiply
or subtract
or divide
yet so rarely to do you consider that lovely word, infinity,
which has no equation
and return to what you understand

If they take it all away

Posted on March 20, 2015 by Meisaan Chan

If they take it all away
and all my kingdoms fall
I’ll have nothing left to look at but you

If they take it all away
and I run to you
you will show me that they didn’t

Come, I say, softly caressing

Posted on March 19, 2015 by Meisaan Chan

Come, I say, softly caressing
with water and ice and soft, thick clouds:
Come my love, barely lit and tentative
as I surround and permeate:
drink me in, infused

The companion

Posted on March 18, 2015 by Meisaan Chan

You fall down and I pick you up,
you thirst and I pour water in your cup;
yes, it is your path and toil
but the path is not to be traversed alone
and so I journey with you

Go ahead. Abandon.

Posted on March 16, 2015 by Meisaan Chan
 
Go ahead. Abandon.
Do not worry about losing yourself in me
for all the lost shall be found
and all the found shall be deeply claimed.
Go ahead. Abandon.
