A Sabbath Poem (St. Teresa)


THE SKY’S SHEETS

~ St. Teresa of Avila

When God touches me I clutch the sky’s
sheets,
the way other
lovers
do

the earth’s weave
of clay.

Any real ecstasy is a sign
you are moving
in the right
direction,

don’t let any prude tell
you otherwise.


(from the Love Poems from God: Twelve Sacred Voices
from the East and West
, translation Daniel Ladinsky
- Penguin Compass, 2002)
