Our Call
Canticles of Light
cANTICLES OF LIGHT
In the youth of morning
Thirsty pleading penetrated
The desert sands of life
Moments of inspiration
Carved its call
There you felt the blessing of all things
You shared in the journey of the sun
Dancing in life’s energies
Merging in its colours and shapes
Drawn down you were
Into your soft deep centre
Where love levelled all difference
Where silence and patience
Carried you into the heart of the universe
Into the heart of God
Before the crows announced the dawn
Your heart began to sing
And prayer rose easily from the desert sanctuary
In the breathless intervals of time
Colour found your soul
And God blessed the earth
