As we lay together in the night
Open to the other and their gaze
We saw the spirit and its loving light
Now I dwell alone and out of sight
I miss my other and his different ways
Did we rest together in the night?
Where’s the spirit, I’m alone distraught?
Who can be the other to my face?
We saw the spirit, now I’ve lost its light.
God is not a fish that can be caught
May contemplation help to loss erase
Did we dream together in the night?
Grace to find one’s path as comes midnight
Dies irae, requiem sauvage.
We saw the spirit and its loving light
What is night and where are my own days?
Can I endure its piercing mental pain
As I lie alone at dead of night
Send the spirit, enfold me in light
How my heart sings
