Speakeasy

Have you
discovered
the Password
to your
Speakeasy?

The Shibboleth
that swings
open
the doorway
to the
Sanctum,

where you are
beloved and
held in such
esteem

that a grinning
spirit
greets you,
bearing
words or
a tune or
an image or
a dance move,

on a silver
platter
held in red
velvet gloves?

Or an invitation
to close your
eyes
while reclining on
a silk cushion
disguised as
your couch
and
daydream
what it means
to be
divine?

When a
Wise One said
“Ask and it will be
given
to you,
Seek and you will
find,
Knock and
the door will be
opened
to you,”

I believe
He was talking
about your
Speakeasy.
