The Mysterious Beginning Of Newness Poem by shel cope

She taught that beauty mastered,
always masters, and so began our new-making.

The diagram of love, explained.
The wisdom of tears, revealed.
The nothingness of childhood, restored.

And through the night
a bird, with no human motive, sings.
Translucent shadows dance unseen
across the slated roof.
Blood sweetness shivering
on my tongue, I can’t resist
swallowing.
