but for sorrow

2 Comments

Today’s poem from Education for Justice is by Rob Suarez.

but for sorrow
 
I might never have asked
what could be
but for sorrow.
I might never have opened
to the terrible
vulnerability of love
but for tears.
I might never have begun
this treacherous path to
God
but for emptiness.
