Out of the everywhere into the here.
Out of the sky as I came through.
Some of the starry spikes left in.
I found it waiting when I got here.
A soft hand strok’d it as I went by.
I saw something better than any one knows.
Three angels gave me at once a kiss.
God spoke, and it came out to hear.
Love made itself into bonds and bands.
From the same box as the cherubs’ wings.
God thought about me, and so I grew.
God thought about you, and so I am here.
