WE

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?
