When the child is at the center, When the babe is in the stall, When the adult nurtures wonder, When the carols warm us all, Then the fragments come together And the vision shines as one

An awakening is beginning, The half living now arise. All those scales which they accepted Are now falling from their eyes.

Must death appear as always stealing life, The fist that breaks our heart’s most sacred shrine, Or can our own last resting space become A wedding feast at which we gladly dine?
