Poem
Morning flood broke cataracts of light here My heart have wings that beat in happy skies O stand here with me in autumn's bright mist And feel the sunshine breaks through languid day There's a power of love that cuddles warm The soul with better promises of joy There are powers that earth's despair destroy Invested not in human fragile arm Something to trust outside the jar of clay Someone in whom we breathe and exist And faith in us his fevered hope make rise A wind against the salt upswelling tear. I take this dawn excited with its charm As gift to give, and as a gift to cheer I seed all joys by grace sweet enterprise Another coming of you, O my Christ A final hope to fold carnal cares, lay The mortal flesh away, and lose alloy The hills shall skip beyond dreams and decay And this mist bright garment before my eyes Will clothe my warm immortality there No guns grief will shatter the heart, my boy The blossoms never fall, nor time shall storm Against the fortress wherein is our bliss So day comes harvesting my page with cries Of glee, turning eagle's loop, as dreams buoy The heart in skies of promises most clear God is the author of all joy, I say. God shall seal our hopes in a whispered kiss And joy break forth abroad to still alarm Then this autumn when green turns gold shall list No dry, nor brown, nor gray in festive air Tomorrow and yesterday passed away You against my breast shall so snuggle warm Your tongue with my breath tells the news of joy, Eternity is here, stitched upon the skies. My heart a banging bell heaps love and lay Across the chiming dell dawn-rinsed, the air Where I dream, flickers with stars like fireflies.
