“The highest proof of the spirit is love.” Albert Schweitzer
When the prophet spoke
the wait was long and dry
till some shepherds called
though few believed their news,
I glimpse her if I’m careful
in children passing by,
birds, laughter, dragonflies,
faces on the street,
wise wind of Sophia
ancient eternal present,
heartfelt.

Yes, that’s the whole thing, besides, I’m not sure we’d cope with anything more.
