When Sweetness Anointed A Brow Lit Eye Poem by Mark Heathcote

When sweetness anointed a brow-lit eye
the good sense to look beyond the sky,
did he lift a withheld heart to weep?
Pasque flower-like in a rocky-deep.

Or did he dwell with a heart of empathy
innate with a life so rich without apathy.
Or did he with earthly colours-fling,
His heart into a bleaker ebony thing:

When sweetness anointed a brow-lit eye
the good sense to look beyond the sky,
Was it then that he went indivisible bye?
And if so, O, my Lord God, why don't I?
