22.) My Story Rends The Darkest Light . . .

My story rends the darkest light

Ascend my night-time’s screen

Let it fill and pass above 

Amongst the midnight stars

See - a tree’s reflected there

Its door within – opens in this moon

A river flows through it

Sapphire blue

The inner river sings – as it pours

But as in a seashell heard – its silent roar

Playing to the quiet 

Of the still well within

See, around the tree – love’s gold ring of light

Circled through the starry boughs, above:

Entwined, below – Sent kindly

Through the roots of fallen stars

See, the binding ring – through branch and root

Two realms – by love – joined as one

The earth – in heaven – was heaven on earth

The severing cleft bound love’s new work

                                            

                                             *

For the amending gentle I softly sing  

And tell about our love – as sun and moon

Though they will not hear it –

You made it so.
