Maybe we are keeping commandments

by finding the seeds planted inside of us, growing them, trimming them, 

and in the sacred offering space in our soul's temple,

offering up the showbread of our wishes. 

Maybe you already love God with all your heart, your soul, with all your strength

if we knew God looked like Nothing except our Lover's face, or the air. 

Maybe we are blessed to just release in our simpleness and find like Avraham

we are keeping commandments in our kidneys

and the grooves of the earth are slip and slides of The Word.
