to look with new eyes and to have seen
to have heard the echo and the void
to wonder at the night and imagine

and to dream

what might dawn look like?

but still, this darkness so warm and enveloping
so misleading, so full of potential, possibilities and peril
who will you find inside?

it's a treacherous road.
but there is no other to walk
between the tomb and the return

so we live in hope
and we flee in terror and amazement
on this road to Galilee
