UNQUENCHABLE LOVE
If I could only see you, Lord,
as you are
a wild Lover
intent on loving
absolutely
each beloved –
unless prevented
by the wild horses of an untamed
savage will –
I would know the desire
in your heart
and would beg
on my knees
each day
the grace
to tame
my savagery
and so
unbar the door
and let my Beloved
enter
the quiet stable of a bridled heart.
A NEW TERROR
if I may only be forgiven
if I forgive
I should tremble
at the hardness
of my heart
and quake
more radically
at the intransigence
of your compassion
MY PEACE
I give peace
my peace
a deepness and a calm that keeps
the high waves of grief or pain
of growing distance or indifference
from shattering your frail faith
peace I give
my peace
forged each day upon the anvil of
your crucified and yet undying
pride
peace
my peace
the peace that keeps depression from despair
that finds within the darkest woods
moments of sunlight where the leaves
beam slow smoke in the autumn air
keeping the hope that in a while
all that here is only seen
savoured shared or understood
when it is past
always will be yours
within my kingdom
WHEN THE LAST RIVER
When the last river has let its waters
meet the sea
when the last cloud has let its rain
touch the waves
when the last breeze has brought coolness
to the face of man
and the last sun has bowed its head
behind the mountains
I will reach down and raise you up
says the Lord
to be with me your brother
for ever.
THE CHILD IN YOUR WOMB
The child
in your womb
might have been
you
do to others
what you would have
them
do
unto you
