Gillian Commerford Poems

What I seek
is the end of striving
and the beginning of peace
and a love that will flow
...

There is a lack
of love
that is not
where love should be
...

My hands are tired of holding on to words
I want to go beyond the words
beyond mere comprehension
I wear myself out with talking, with argument,
...

Day-moon
why do you glow?
Don't you know
the sun is up
...

There is a kindness
we only find in moments of stillness
a gentleness
that wraps itself around us
...

If I should die
[as sure I must]
think only this of me-
not that I've gone to Heaven or to Hell
...

Luminous possibilities
shine from your eyes
the salt has cracked your heels
I wash your feet with my hair
...

Jesus walked on water
Hindus walk on fire
There's a man up in space
walking on air-
...

In the rain
a sense of wonder
comes over me
a sense of the numinous
...
