Sunlight falls to the sea
It flashes on the billows
But buckles under folding waves
And pierces the deep
As shattered rays
I remember
Trees performing their rites from shore,
Their branches swaying like censers over the water;
The blue expanse of sky, an inverse sea,
With frothy clouds like crests of slow moving waves;
The cool water lapping against the shore,
Providing the rhythm for a song of praise.
But now I lay on the sea-bed,
these memories echo remotely,
Unrenewed by fresh sensation,
Receding from me like half-forgotten dreams,
Energy and light diffuse and scatter;
They could never reach me whole
After sinking into Sheol,
deep calls unto deep.
God’s silence resounds in hollow things, in hollow things:
In sympathy devoid of understanding,
In proximity bereft of presence.
In contact without communion.
Comforters have come with coffee
And a deferent flexion of the neck,
Saying, “no one likes to go through things like this.”
A reproach in a mug of somber tact,
Set before me, so I can smell its odor:
“Did you think God favored you above the others?”
“Others suffer” – that may be. But in this sea
We perish each alone.
But I do not sing of resignation –
Songs cannot grow on barren ground –
My solemn notes, a feeble signal,
A cry sent to God, to catch God’s ear:
I hope you find me here.
I hope you find me here.
