When you left us
I saw
how the clouds parted,
rent
curtains,
as you
cleared earth’s
drossy
smear,
and
passed into a heaven
bright
beyond
our wildest imagining.
Bereft,
fearful, we
shut
tight the door
against
wolves’ howling
and
waited for you
to keep
your promise.
At
first it was a whisper,
the
sea-ward wind
prying
loose our
weak
walls,
but soon
the song rose, until
its
power overwhelmed us
with
chords of faith,
and,
afire at last,
we spoke!
