EVERY DAY THAT I'M MOVING


every day that I'm moving

i'm moving a little bit more

far from the snowblinding allées

toward an Avalon shore


gone are the old occupations

the circulars from the stores

the food on sale or the afternoon mail

the signs of life on earth


soft as the waves in a dream

farther than moonlight could be

something dissolves the old harbors

something is lost at sea


in the book of revealing

prophets appear to mend

some citrus lovely destination

made to be finished again


only God has the compass

only Christ is the wind

every day I am moving

toward what can never end.
