Gift of Four

Four hid stones in a stream
Incandescent pebbles 
Small round and smooth
Shining there fire bright

Four hid feathers in the air
Little sharp quills
Brave and beautiful
Twirling there very light

Four cornered shafts all found in my middle
Stony weights and feathered burdens first
Yet freed in uplifts both come weaving through
Till bathed in lit-life winged sight they give me

Love in delight in patience born of peace 
These four all a perfect portion form
When drawn of light I am drowned in life
And left shining there . . . underneath.
