The Godly Hand of Love

Under   
the bridge 
of Montezuma

homeward 
passage 
folding
 back 
upon itself

lost and found 
through
wasted caverns,

smother smeared
with dark despair,

find the solace,
earthly halo,

silver coated 
 light of dawn,

comes the maiden
of the mountain,

comes to lift you heaven 
mannered

comes to shine your face to 
angels

comes to spare your heart 
unbroken 

in a swirling dreaming
torpor,

dreams to kindle 
every ember

left inside your
soul tormented

simply say
you know the number,

written deftly
on the waters

by the godly hand
of love.
