Her Unseen Hand Lies in Us Silent


They stoop to find who discover a fresh leaf
The tiniest part of swiftlight, ALL in the joy of falling
The precious love-gold presses only where she loses
But all Everland waits to watch to welcome all her kind
                                          
Shivers of the broken thing her cache of emerald fire
Parted cradle-pearls fall upon the grail’s own cusp  
Her welcome, singing in every shattered heart-of-child
As waiting Everland runs to find and greet her own kind  

Outstretched, helping her unseen hand lies in us silent
Hiding all the favours of her beauty waiting patiently
As lost wanderers walk, near blind to her presence
Seeking solace in outer comfort and missing the spoil

Of a dropped strength found the greater part of seven
And lived in, its buoyant counterpart is very free
Love’s fugitives escape wherever first they are taken
Finding sweet company with hosts of star embracing angels

They win who dare; they drink who by love make wine
They drink that better love, the rain, and feast on favoured air
Finding comfort, caught in Everland’s hidden splendour
They lose the good, the hard to part with, and so find the best!
