Poetry for Today

LAUGHTER CAME FROM EVERY BRICK


Just these two words He spoke

changed my life,

"Enjoy Me."



What a burden I thought I was to carry -

a crucifix, as did He.



Love once said to me, "I know a song,

would you like to hear it?"



And laughter came from every brick in the street

and from every pore

in the sky.



After a night of prayer, He

changed my life when

He sang,



"Enjoy Me."



Teresa of Avila

From Love Poems from God, by Daniel Ladinsky.
