I am a little church(26 December 2011 on explore)

            (no great cathedral)far from the splendor and squalor of hurrying cities
I do not worry if briefer days grow briefest,
I am not sorry when sun and rain make aprilmy life is the life of the reaper and the sower;my prayers are prayers of earth's own clumsily striving(finding and losing and laughing and crying)children whose any sadness or joy is my grief or my gladness around me surges a miracle of unceasingbirth and glory and death and resurrection:over my sleeping self float flaming symbolsof hope,and I wake to a perfect patience of mountains
I am a little church(far from the frantic world with its rapture and anguish)
at peace with nature
I do not worry if longer nights grow longest;
I am not sorry when silence becomes singingwinter by spring,
I lift my diminutive spire tomerciful Him Whose only now is forever:standing erect in the deathless truth of His presence(welcoming humbly His light and proudly His darkness)
