here not to grasp
here to bear
earth upholds us
universe motherly
we can cry our fill
cries heeded and heard
stones hear us
stars hear and entreat us
god hears us
god helps us stand upright
as we cast our lament
into his illumined night
with us in every wail
we could not have cried
had he not wished to hear us
we are the provider's sigh
echoed back
in the provider's ear
we are your tear
crystalline
lord
your eye
blind
a chaos adrift
mirroring
loneliness
infinite
go
