truly

a poem written atop Croagh Patrick in Ireland

i truly am worth love,
as simply as the sight
of nature’s sky in sunshine is
worthy of blue light

i will not choose to suffer
beyond a healthy height, 
but burn in starry balance
to share my farthest bright

i let the world reveal me
in all my hidden night,
forgive myself my many sins
and hitch my soul to right

I wrote this poem atop Croagh Patrick, the most holy mountain in Ireland, where Saint Patrick fasted for 40 days.
