Resolution
December 25, 2019
I'm sure the world resolves into a grove of truth
Although I know I have not light to see it
Nor being bright enough to delve and dree it
The world revolves around a gnomon - stock and root
Our silly dreams bewray it
Strife's antic scathes defray it
Here is a sort of music thought on adventitiously
All directions going – suffusing all reflections
At once a tune deep set in grounded elementals
Or else a broad revet in which imbued are Love Triune's essentials
Modals collide recite a fugue beyond fond comprehension
Moment's simplicity itself had we its provenance
Somewhere mislaid from day-to-day but rieved occasionally
A little; at a time when ganz allein we're brought to pray
And dandled on all hope we touch love's tonic mystery
A second fleeting, suddenly unbidden, meeting All
-in-All; too much, too much, to look on overlong
And then reverting finds us back among a common song
Tight held a plighted memory, oracular, alive
Of what shall be, to come about it shall, inevitably
The God of Abraham, of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, He
God of the living proselytises this is so
It is the only temporal fact we ever truly know
