we'll see the rivers in the sky
of all that starlight going by
and flowering trees from space
when earth turns pink and green and plum
in another place as we are watching, rapt
and breathe in the solar winds and all of that
rainbowed excess
when cosmic rose, seraphic saffron light
our way into the gloaming of the day
when grief has passed
like this summer's clouds
and each cathedral child
can dream out loud
the visionary new meant from all time to be
the God of love and truth anew exalted
all heaven and earth new vaulted.
each broken heart, reprieved.
