Exhaling

Well, I know I’ve just posted sonnet six, but my Internet is working supremely well this morning, so it seems wise for me to upload the final sonnet while I can. We can still comment on either one, but I’d like to get this out before my Internet refuses to cooperate. I’ve posted pix to some of the earlier sonnets as well, which was my intention from the beginning, but it just wouldn’t GO. We need sky pictures to keep us alive here.

Anyway, here is the final “installment” from the Seven Sonnets Through the Dark. I’m almost sad to see this end….

Diliculum
(daybreak)

“In the morning let me know your love for I put my trust in you.” Psalm 143
“For it was you who created my being…
I thank you for the wonder of my being, for the wonders of all your creation…
Lead me in the pat of life eternal.” Psalm 139

At dawn the world is gilded by starfire,
Our Stonehenge just a monumental tomb;
In the dark He has clothed us in festal attire
To await the near arrival of the Groom.
We are creatures of an uncreated God,
Created to reflect the Absolute;
By following the blood-paved path He trod
We allow Him to bring forth in us His fruit.
Living thuribles before Love’s Altar,
Sanctuary lamps before Light’s Throne,
Our love and work an endless radiant psalter;
We carry living Flame in flesh and bone.
We come from Goodness, Mercy our sojourn;
Rescued by Wisdom, to the Father’s Heart we return.
