Psalm 94
The light is laying its hands
over the pale shoulders of hills.
The unbearable cold reminding us
again, the limits of this world.
Flecks of star-fire
in the bone-blue drapery of snow.
Strung ice chiming ancient songs
through the old, anchored trees
that are shimmering
like a million glass flowers;
like a million glass flowers;
like an offering
beyond the panes of our weary and numb hearts,
where everything disappearing
blazes like beacons of hope.
Love this!
