Soften My Heart*

Soften my heart, O Spirit.
Till me like a garden’s good earth
until I am ready to take seed.
May the seed hold your enceinte dream,
your unsayable name, your delicious love.
May this precious seed
take root, reach, and flourish
so that in the end
it may bloom into full bursting
and the gardener be given
Her due praise.
Amen.
