The deep spaces between stars,
Fathomless as the cold shadow
His mind cast.

The Bread of Truth (1963)

Is there a place
here for the spirit? Is there time
on this brief platform for anything
other than mind's failure to explain itself?

Frequencies (1978)

Deliver me from the long drought
of the mind. Let leaves
from the deciduous Cross
fall on us, washing
us clean, turning our autumn
to gold by the affluence of their fountain.

Laboratories of the Spirit (1975)
