Therefore let me know trust in the
feelings of my heart. My hope is in what the hand of man has never touched. Do
not let me trust what I can grasp between my fingers.
Thomas Merton, Thoughts in Solitude.
Young grass
high and thick
drenched
filled to brim,
by morning sun released
a fury of green, trees
believing that golden day
will stay.
Persist, oh life,
in the cold of winter,
and beat, oh heart!
With tender heat
awhile yet
I
breathe!
