Hunger that craves immortal Bread and Wine.
Light songs we breathe that perish with our breath Out of our lips that have not kissed the rod. They shall not live who have not tasted death. They only sing who are struck dumb by God. Acceptance. [Willard Wattles] I cannot think nor reason, I only know he came With hands and feet of healing And wild heart all aflame. With eyes that dimmed and softened At all the things he saw, And in his pillared singing I read the marching Law. I only know he loves me, Enfolds and understands -- And oh, his heart that holds me, And oh, his certain hands! |
