Vision

by Elizabeth Reninger


Original Language English

Go out after midnight
with the sky trembling
in snowy light --
each star holding its filament
of desire. Merge

your mind with the spiraling
galaxies -- with a movement so
large only Your
heart can encompass it.

Notice the moon grow

diffuse -- Reappear
as your Beloved

looking out through eyes
vast as a Winter

Sky...
