But only that she was born into the poem that God made, and

called the world.

4.

And the goldfinch too

And the black pond I named my little sister, since

otherwise I had none.

And the muskrat, with his shy hands.

And the tiny life of the single pine needle,

which nevertheless shines.

And the priest in her beautiful vestments,

her hand over the chalice.

And clouds moving, over the valleys of Truro.

5.

All day I watch the sky changing from blue to blue.

For You are forever

and I am like a single day that passes.

All day I think thanks for this world,

for the rocks and the tips of the waves,

for the tupelos and the fading roses.

For the wind.

For You are forever

while I am like a single day that passes.

You are the heart of the cedars of Lebanon

and the fir called Douglas,

the bristlecone, and the willow.

6.

It’s close to hopeless,

for what I want to say the red-bird

has said already, and better, in a thousand trees.
