The amiable,the fierce both dwelt in you
You dived, a gentle fish, into dark sea
Where living people cannot be immersed
The amiable, the fierce both lived in you
I watched you going through a sheet of tears
They dropped as does the Tees with its High Force
The amiable, the fierce were always there.
You dived, a gentle fish, into dark sea
Now the world of man has well surpassed
The time we could blame God for what we ‘ve missed
How can it be that He is never here?
His absence haunts: symbolic, suffered, real.
