If This Is
If this was -
If this will be -
Just another "infinite desert":
One yet falls down to one's
Knees -
Faithfully, if need be,
Digs down, with one's own two good hands,
Digs into the burning, shifting, choking sand;
For just there:
Under the turning, biting grit, under the
Cloudless sky, the blinding sun:
Rushing, mighty, Life-Giving Water rising;
Earth-shaking calm;
Perfect, placid, Gnostic twin fish -
Lazily aware.
