Nida - Lux Interna

Into the heart of the woods

The light of the sap the face of all things good

In a blue church in Nida

I held Your hand

Your fingers entwined with mine

Listen!

they are bringing fire

From the next world and songs to sing away

The grey mask of Time

Circling I saw the birds weave

Together the broken body of G-d

Re-membering the Divine

Re-membering the Divine

And there crosshatched in

Amongst the pooling shadows

I could read the names in the grain of the wood

By the light of Your body

And the flame of Your Tongue

A soft skin of silence

Covered over all sad things

And I held You close

Looking into the Face of

ALL THINGS GOOD

A gift given

From the heart of the wood

A gift given

From the heart of the wood

And the birds have left the fields but not Her heart

And the birds have left the fields

But not her heart
