BIBLE TRUTH To die... Oh, cool river! To float there with nothing to resist-- One ripple of silence spreads out from another. My spirit widens so, Circle beyond circle. I hold up the stars no longer with the pupils of my eyes. Hands, legs, arms float off from me. I melt like flakes of snow. I am no more opposed. I am no more.

I was looking for a hill of mounds hairy with grass, And a place to lie down. AIR FOR G STRING White hands of God |
