You've decided
that you want me,
and so commanded
flashing angels
...
Running all the way,
bent double in breathless pain
we peer and see
the gaping grave

“What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy.” Thomas Merton
“To love another person is to see the face of God.” Victor Hugo

cloudless, cool, southern sun,
garden of blue eternity
...
"Come, dervishes: here is the water of life. Dance in it."
Thomas Merton

...
Grey,
torn, and twisted
they fill the sky
with the slow motion
...
The generals line-up, war-plans
in withered hands, ready to strike
the children.
