Alleluia!
All day the brevity of truth arrives
in the patched parcels of silence;
an opening prayer from the quiet
envelope of the heart;
a long slant of words folded back
into the parched volumes of the mind;
recollection a gathering of seeds
from the wildflowers of contemplation;
beauty in the loud-red tulips' alleluias
over the cloistered spires of grass.
So refreshing, so deep with meaning. Love this!
