PSALM of Lost Words***
,My soul weeps
As the words are lost —
Like the decaying leaves of autumn,
Laying heavy from the frequent
Spring rains and —
after months of winds blown —
Massing along fence bases, waiting
To be shred and swept over new
growing grass —
Merely words, joined from running
Thoughts, which also seem quietly
Massed these days when there has
Been little more than sleep...
Forgive me, my sweet soul!
Do not weep...As I breathe
I yet exalt our redeeming king.
May I send to you
Again soft songs from my heart.
The joy of the poetry between us
Will rise to echo onwards;
To gather even from the dust
Some pastel particles to paint
New visions
In new light:
The living poetry
That dances in our souls.
Holy! Holy!
Selah.
