Dominions Of Love

                                             The Lord is compassion and love.
                                                                      Universalis Psalm

I was among them, 

Moving as a stranger through a crowd,

In the sun-flushed

Field of golden rods,

Yet,

They swayed against me

And away

As if I were not.

They were busy 

Tossing

Their brilliance

Across the shimmering tops

And gilding

Stems.

They were speaking light

While rattling 

The silences 

Of their roots' dark descent,

, 

While I stood,

Bearing their realm

As one outside it,

In the loneliness of their

Happiness

Congregating

All the bright long

Day:

Singing their yellow-gold

Into the thrones

Of light

And dominions

Of love unveiling, 

Our Lord

 So graciously

Included

Me

   Among.
