Magnificent vespers
like the sleep of a child
before awareness of the world creeps in
and makes of sleep a thin veneer
over nightmare
and ever-present reality
Magnificent vespers
like a seed under snow
before the fever of spring sets in
before the fury of summer;
the fear and longing and mourning of autumn
Vespers lost
but not forgotten
