The Cave of Secrets––poem by Dorothy
The Cave of Secrets
There are many passageways
into the Cave of Secrets.
Some find the opening
by wailing and threshing about,
hoping for an answer.
Some discover it in quietude,
silence and prayer,
soft light descending.
Earnest pilgrims wake up one day,
find they are already there,
already know the secrets,
hold them in their heart,
whisper them to others
in unfamiliar syllables,
unknown tongues.
