Discover Poem by Daniel Trevelyn Joseph

I know now Durga is her name:
Whole of last evening,
I struggled, fought with myself
To recall this name.

I knew her for years,
I remembered her husband’s, and
Father-in-law’s names, not hers.

Did it get locked into a memory cell
To which I lost my way or key?
Does it still remain part of me?

Seated in the heart of all, Gita says,
Kingdom of Heaven within you, Jesus says.
Trouble is we don’t know, till we wake up.
