7.30.13

How gentle and quiet this power, how peaceful!
                                        Stronger than anything.
What is this? The greatest,
          Most moving of all songs -
                    Not raucous, not loud this sound.
                                        Stronger than anything.
And how can this great light,
                    So full, brightest of all,
          Take blind eyes and open them,
                    Blind them to see
                              Only You, everywhere,
                                        Stronger than anything.
