WHAT DUST SHOOK OFF

Thinking of sheep, hearing their plaintive bleat,How many shepherds, though they turned asideTo see some scene, to muse on origins,Then slipped back in the track, led sheep again,And were not troubled by that different thing,Unready for mere human vision-change?

DORCAS OF JOPPA

What were her thoughts when opening her eyesShe found herself, not where she had lain ill,Circled by loyal friends, but in that stillSmall upper room of hers?

Oh, how she wanted to give!The dollar bill,The eggs,I hold them in my hand.

Swathed in time'swinding-sheet, howcan Lazarus comealive again nowfor us in this room,this one hourdissolved, also, soon?

I prayed for oneimportunately,in humble, deep sincerity,but no light shone.

ONLY THE "NOW"

There is no time "ago," an hour,A day, a year.
