We
who create
are shown, observe
hear the call
of everything that is asked of us
We
may answer in our narrow lives
with boundless imagination
In eternal bond
here and beyond
We
sorrowful live
mourn the intractable
the unwrought, the unspoken
Strive to perfect
What we brought
What we received
What we will leave
Will We long
to return from the “undiscovered country”?
or remain spirit?
knowing then what is asked of us on earth
And We
unable, unwilling, unaware
Here and now
can We offer to
and receive from each other
sapphire forgiveness
emerald peace
ruby warmth
crystal light?
Gems from hearts well worn
to light our way
through the labyrinth
of this thin veil?
