31.) The Crystal Sky Keeps The Secret Hid...




The crystal sky keeps the secret hid
To muddle and confuse the hated truth
To enchant the blessed lines that led the way 
That forward, take my death to write
But that, onward, pull them through the loop:
The unclothing flow – the light which clears
Which untwists the ties, those knotted cords
And enlists the fragile heart to listen hard
Lift the clouded veil, tear the lifeless form away
Vanquished through the secret well of life.

Coming newly to me now, the season changes
Emerging spaces – ever-widening inner rooms
An encomium of dying growth, my Lover’s praise
And new lines sent me, from above the crystal sky:
Opening thought, as continual as the purple tree
Which on its loss – produces only more and more!
Spring lives – torn away upon the wind – renew!
I saw it, I was amazed!  Called – the purple flowers
Come again and again – amaranthine – unfading!
The rod that grew and budded first cut and slain!
