Whoever Went In
by Dorothy WaltersOriginal Language English
Whoever went in
naked to the core.
Whoever cast aside
all the armor,
all the fastenings.
Who could breathe air thin as flame.
Drink water pressed from blossoms,
rose petals
or violets.
Whoever stayed in that
darkness so dark
it became a circle of seeing.
Who could hear
the silent flute note
of the stilled wind,
hold rock turning to light.
