Love Finished It

Death started it

When became now

And the earth welcomed a child

At last, at last

Death started it

Shallow turned deep

Love opened spaces in my heart

This must last forever

Death started it

Yes became No

And my tired eyes saw my wrinkled neck

How long will this last?

Death started it

Questions became answers

And my clothed flesh gave way to my naked spirit

at last, at last

And love finished it all.
