The Song of Distance

Little One, come, I will teach you the song of distance

whereby to flee this peacelessness and din.

Turn from the earth as stranger and begin:

My soul is out on paths that have no ending

and no return. Where the noon kneels to pray

love guides my steps, ascending and descending.

Out through the sleeping solitudes I stray

O far

O far away.

Morning and evening do not mark this day.

O Little One, believe that earth is alien.

Let its concerns all unremembered lie.

Say to the storm or sweetness passing by:

My soul is out on paths that have no ending

and no return. A light blurs out my way.

I am with God and toward my godhood tending.

I near the foothills of eternal day

O far

O far away.

God speaks to me. Earth has no more to say.
