Now I know not sorrow
nor enemies neither
devoured they were
by the grace of love
that you gave me
to love through me
those who offend me
refuse me
betray me
all alone
I sit on your shores
and emerge new
persistent
alone, without promises
in me your love is complete
is invigorated and wants
to love for love’s sake
without reward
without wearying
like waves of generosity
that never cease.

Translation of ‘Sola’ by Ariana Dubov
