Poetry list
ascension
ascension is
glory but what
can that be
without location
or form when
freed from horizon
and dimension
it is union and
parting life and
death for us in
now the paradox
of finitude bound
for the everlasting
no hillside launch
pad but the gift
of beyondness
within and among
our familiarities
take time to let
this gift find you
every day it
changes the
polarities of
our perception
and suffuses
everything with
the glory no
human eye alone
can see yet alone
define as we are
realised anew
in love and
beyond limit
our scars his
scars are
in glory and
for all time
the pain and
the dust will
be gone
