ORATORIO

Our love dwells

in its own light,

blossoms in its own garden

of delight,

moves about in an

unguarded cadence,

listens to the silence

of stars in heavenly places,

dances the waltz of the wind

on warm hills

and leaning grass,

plays in the rain

from higher clouds,

touches lower clouds

with earthly sounds,

sings the masterpieces

of our best years,

comes home,

in and out

the day,

and 
settles

there.
