Wondering . . .

Faltering Steps

Faltering the steps I take in festive forays

Through the Lantern Brights in books . . .  

To find in light the strength to pass through dark

To loose the oil I find there, beyond the spine

Amidst the unseen streets I walk through gold

Find there my sight that turns my heart to see

My goings helped, and known and sheltered

And entered there: simplicity, and new happiness!

Faltering Steps / The Bookmark Project

Faltering the steps I take in furtive forays

Through the sunlit lantern Brights

To find in day the strength to pass through night

That though shaking I might walk through dark

I find the gold of life that turns my pain to see

My goings helped, and known, and sheltered 

And entered there, know peace and happiness
