A Mask of Sorrows

 

Image to image, in the halloo of night

                                              a prayer rustles;

God’s darkness stutters a brief message:

even the dreamer must undertake

a dream without end – a passage

through death to a world beyond fear.

Rose and rood made one, long ago conjoined,

                                         the long night draws breath

from a living flame, the living flame of

        love in a dark night of sense.
