The direction of the heart and the imprint of time . . .









            The Tread of Our Aching Heart

The tread of our aching heart’s blind dreaming
Is never forgotten---
Imprinted our footprints upon the sands
Of time’s glad use of us---

His crystal glimpses will softly tell---
And forever---of all the stories hid
Within the places we have passed through
And are yet passing through---

Their bright footsteps are never lost---
Indelible the mark we leave behind us
Upon time’s shoulder---
Our story perfectly told---

The whispered secret-gold within them
Is---heard and seen---our being infinitely loved
In the son’s own deep working in us---
Pressed---infused---forever held in his keeping

We are not unloved in any of our thoughts
Neither do we go unseen---in any place
Where we have trodden the grapes of wrath---
Our footsteps a pattern of light in time---

And when time closes his book---we are whole:
Our story a perfect gift of unconditional love
