Space

Space, immobile as the wind that never stirs
unless some pivotal calm inherits, serves,
I love you there, the being not unnerve!

Where silence walked beside, between embalm
of yesterday, our joy, our moment's psalm,
I love thee there, not in conventions alms.

I love thee, giving praise
when all else harms,
a necessary space, the self's alarm!

I love thee though alone
God's promised balm!
