“our little systems have their day
they have their day and cease to be
they are but broken lights of thee
and thou, oh lord, art more than they”

unless a kernel falls to earth
death has no hope of giving birth
longing to love you—
longing to live again—

i have a sorrow in my heart
a sorrow and a bittering
hope is a bird that’s wintering
beneath the wordless wounded mark

do you have a glory will flame out?
will death have a sting to boast about?
when will you touch me—
when will i live again—

when a great stillness falls on earth
when oceans flee, horizons meet
when we emerge to starlit streets
and bones breathe in their stony berths

earth has her hope, and heaven too
death swallowed up in me, in you
now do you know me?
now do you know my name?
