eyes deep as time
And the blessing, silent, so tiny
was given.
A Temple dark
Anna, Simeon
and a blessing, so fierce, so sharp
was given.
A Temple seat
My love, sitting
and the blessing - his Godly wisdom -
was given.
A ragged crowd
My son, beyond
my love and the blessing I wanted
to give him.
An accursed day
My boy, hanging
Bitter blessing of bearing again
was given.
A dawn so blessed
salves my deep wound
through his death-killing love, the sweet earth
gives him up.
Now many years
His face, unseen
Yet his blessing, his Spirit,
is given.
And now - sleeping?
My love, calling
As his blessing, his kiss, his embrace
is given.
It is over.
