Excerpt from Candles in the Sun

At The Door

Here at the door are beacon fires to build,
Dreams to be dreamt, and voices - voices stilled
As Eden darkly was ere the first bird
In the ancestral silences was heard.

And here are songs, midway in homing flight,
That hover on frail pinions and alight
Softly, less audibly than is the quake
Of spirits tremulous, or hearts that break,
Here at the door.

Here at the door are many messages
Of cheer and lurking faith - a folded kiss,
A sealed desire, a sigh, a memory
Of things that were as rainfall on the sea.

Thronging are shapes and shadows near at hand
Cast by the moon upon an April land.
And in the air are rumors and the stir
Of meetings and long partings to occur,
Here at the door.
