Llamar o tocar a la puerta – Teach us the song that opens

I am
calling upon the name
the very sound that opens the door
to the world inside
where the miracles mend and knot
endless red threads for me
where that which is known
and unknown kindle each other’s flaming
where that which the Divine
has planted
that which I am here to be
and know
not needing a single more
particle
of time or money or kin or purpose
in order to reach inside and
pull forth shining strands of truth

I reach
I call
I push
I press
I seek
I pray
I hold
I bless
I cry
I trust
in the unknown unresolved unspoken

I believe that which is good
is my religion
that which seeks to heal
and hold and bless
and anoint
that which seeks to mend the tattered
souls within us
that which is called toward
beauty and shuns that which
no longer serves
that wildsih nature
at the center of our personal
wilderness
answers me back

she does not tell me to
trust or perform
she only tells me three words:
listen. wait. watch.
and so that is what I do
Lady lady lady of the red thread
turn these wisps of despair
into a great shawl so I
might put it upon the shoulders
of those
who do not know how to ask for you
who do not know how to call upon
the name of the door
open our doors, oh Lady
teach us the song which opens

“llamar o tocar a la puerta”
means literally to play upon the instrument of the name in order to open the door.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
