which is a sun-warmed stone
to rest upon
amid the churning chaos
of a dying world.

This love

which is the life-giving river
healing, cool to the touch
in the dust-choked hearts
of a searching humankind.

This love

which is a brilliant star,
an explosion of soul
from within the cage of earthly life!

This love

which you have brought to me;

and I cannot dream but to return to you,
Most Blessed Beauty,
all my tiny infant vision of

This love.
