The Radiance Of All Things


THE RADIANCE OF ALL THINGS

(to the poet, William Blake)

why do you listen to the minor prophets

when you could listen to the King

I heard my guardian angel sing

and sigh, 

over the field of fruitless enterprise.

then I saw rise again or at least His topaz shadow,

tyger ringed,

Christ in his full maned glory while we wept

flinging over us imperishably

the radiance of all things.
