A Sabbath Poem (St. Teresa)
THE SKY’S SHEETS
~ St. Teresa of Avila
sheets,
the way other
lovers
do
of clay.
you are moving
in the right
direction,
you otherwise.

thank you for this beautiful poem. i am a big fan of st. teresa, i'm currently working on a painting of her.
if everyone would love like she did they would have a more intimate relationship with christ.
