Lord Jesus, send Your Holy Sprit
into this dusky desert of my mind,
in which, whatever trees are left

One day, an angel will appear and take
those cool dark glasses from your eyes,
the mask that hides your creeping fear

tomorrow looms like this prison wall,
repulsive, hostile, cold and grey...

occurs in differenT forms:
as fluid, ice or vapor.

of pearly sea shells on a windward shore,
a fragile beauty, simple yet sublime
in gracious and serene surrender
