a beacon
  spacious
 mystery
will be the great name
     truly
The slow in-breath      will
 enliven
 signs
   for you
  in strangers’ eyes
 in the thick of struggle
in white-knuckled promises
     truly
hear the blessing      silence
 the bended knee
  between
   numbered heartbeats
 eternal
 eternal
 eternal

what we bless      is
praise      beauty
up from the well
crown all       in air
splendor-swollen
still      higher, higher
flashing
(What is           in a name?
    Blessing.)
Words are small
by comparison
songs
broken
Comforts thin
Will they be enough?

Say, truly
