Hush

Hush
		after Christian Wiman
I
 want to hum
with my own emptiness
hear the space therein
feel how holy it is
see that no thing is needed
touch that void
filled up with love 
to overflow

Allow it to spillover,
shade all the heat
in the world
warm the frozen places
soften the gnarled knots
in people too stubborn 
to know 
until they, too
see to hum with
their own emptiness
