The Only One

"The only One Who can teach me to find God is God, Himself, Alone."

Thomas Merton, Seeds of Contemplation.

The only one

who can fill black night

with interior light,

who can lead me

past the gun-shots, 

thump and thud,

hate filled percussion,

of hidden mines,

the death of 

children

is God,

Himself,

Alone.
