The power of love celebrated
as birth of a child
in wonder of stars and earthly hosts—
noticed amid so little care of life
that Life was the focus, and creation
of Love the goal—a flock
of souls adrift
left to crash upon rocks and shoals- found
a sudden shepherd.
Walked among them a
call
to something shared within each
a patient teaching, a purposeful reach
to the Sun
We live the miracle to this day
a far removed time still speaks the name
expresses happiness for a cause of mankind--
that man can be more kind, as this man
Whose steps made but a tiny circle
Whose words never cut stony Earth
but endure as little else has, a seed
that made fallow ground to turn;
light in slow-crawl across time to now.
light in slow-crawl across time to now.
It lives a life peculiar to truths...above
the petty drag of days, and frayed tongues of doubt
to speak to the heart of the heart
in the voice of the spirit, to dare
hope, to risk loving, to defy the call to self
to exalt the purposes of compassion.
It is only the heart that finds a star in the east...
to follow
