"God's tide of light" / "life is..."

God's tide of light
so sweetly sweeping from the West --
already the canvas prepared,
mountains and valleys and islands
of deepest blue and gray.
the waxing light
washing the ceiling above this busy town --
waves of people with backs to the sky,
this promise,
like that to the sparrows,
of Eternal Love.


--

life is too beautiful!
  too fragile, too trivial,
  too meaningless and meaningful!
may i die only in a moment
  when i am alive with the world,
  whether in ecstasy or sorrow.
