Balance

If the angel should come

to place my soul on a balance

I will welcome him in my cathedral

with beech trees burning like columns

and fern leaves weaving translucent rings,

stained glass married with light.

 

If he should ask or say

that my heart is too heavy

I will answer

that this ancient well,

riverbed of deep emotions,

was always unreachable

for its sweep.

Some keep the Sabbath going to Church
I keep it staying at Home
