TO THE LISTENING ONE OUR FATHER

 

TO THE LISTENING ONE OUR FATHER

Who listens with the breath of the wind

Like the tides with the tides incoming and outgoing

Clear transparencies of emerald

So that this catches at your heart

And you a lone bird in a shattered tree

I can hear you listening to me

And your listening has the quality of a music

That will not let me go except to be entirely free

To speak with you in an echoing way the light into the darkness

The cooling waters into the cove.

The opal pavements into galaxies.

The obscure rose into blossoming.
