Psalm – a poem by Erin Olson

Psalm

I want to speak heaven
into earth, into the fields 
of wildflowers, into the
woodlands.
I want to braid heaven
into your hair, let you 
see yourself resplendent,
see yourself divine. 
Lit by that fire, 
I see you, you are like
no other, you are essential
as the sun, as the heart.
Look at you shine.
