a little annunciation

Love I cannot cease to Know

Most Beautiful 
Intrusive Thought 
When I am caught 
By anxiety 
You come to me 
Unbidden 
When I am 
Pain-ridden 
You are Where I Go

When I am quiet in
Deep Soul Rest
I find You
Beloved and Best
Here ever waiting 
Your Kindness unabating
Your Gestures calm and slow

Though I try
Not to need You 
Even if I 
Do not feed You 
Regardless of what 
Trauma freed You 
Oh so long ago 

Beyond my mere believing 
Or trickster god’s deceiving 
Your Truth in me conceiving 
Love I cannot cease to Know 

Even in duress
The answer still 
Is Yes. 

In the midst of all the things without and within, may Unfailing Love be gently announced to you, again and again and again.

Peace, Love, and All Goodness,
Cheryl Anne
