Night and Day

do you see grace by which we live
night and day searching the other
spent, rapt, flying seeking
empty, full, yes, and no
‘
‘
‘
‘
‘
and what is this thing presented here
this body from whose and such
that wants a touch of madness
a sheer flight from system sanity
‘
‘
‘
‘
‘
for we are not we but more
god this is so primitively true
we know it we sow it and long to reap
bind me lay me a holy harvest…you
‘
‘
‘
‘
‘
we touch plunge and retreat
a warm hand in cold spring water
little by little used to it now
licking the drops of dripping courage
‘
‘
‘
‘
‘
like night and day
‘
‘
‘
‘
‘
do you see it?
‘
‘
‘
‘
‘
do you see
‘
‘
‘
‘
‘
do you
‘
‘
‘
‘
‘
do
‘
‘
‘
‘
‘
‘
‘
‘
‘
‘
‘
‘
‘
‘
‘
‘
‘
do you see grace by which we live
