Can you reach to the ends of the earth?
when my whole
is breathed,
beyond its limits,
and joins force with a lighter breath,
breath of light ?
If I am quiet enough,
can you make use of this place,
and your creation be fulfilled ?
your wish, greater than mine,
(yet not imposing your will).
If my wish takes part in your wish,
finer than anything imaginable,
then could you reach to the ends of this earth ?
(At four years old, she exclaimed
“God is in every part of your body”)
A pair of quick and brave Dunnocks
come out of the shadows
to pick up crumbs,
smaller than you can see.
