Who can say the heart’s a refugee?

Wholly here in   trust of the unknown
A trust   wholly impossible to  man
So Jesus  cried out  in his state forlorn
Unknowing and uncertain, he began.

Who can tell us what the cost may be?
Our open eyes may  let in bleak despair
Who can  say that  love’s a refugee?
Our open eyes may see the Light shine where?

How we  draw our lifelines   sharp and black
When watercolor may be nearer truth.
A puzzle, steel, mechanical, might crack
And leave us  helpless , buried in  our ruth.

Who has got the courage when alone?
Which of us will roll away the stone?
