Poetry list
the looking glass
what do you see
what do we see
ourselves and
a world reflecting
our thought and
importance what
if the glass lets
us see see more
clearly further
deeper where
our place and
meaning are
writ by another
a relationship
of intimate and
encompassing
transcendent freedom
lost and
found
changed and
vulnerable formed
in humility to
be apprehended by
meaning and value
beyond image and
sight reckoning
and control the
glass that refocuses
our humanity as
dust and glory this
glass is the world
and our neighbour
our brother and
redeemer the
incarnate
the pierced and
entombed
the raised and
ascended
dust
and glory
