160. Faith
H
The vision of my heart begins.
The wisdom that within us grows
Is absolution for our sins.
Far in the garden of His mind.
The ancient prophecies of hate
We proved untrue, for He was kind.
The soul made wormlike in His sight,
Within whose heaven are hierarchies
And solar kings and lords of light.
The Children of the King should bear,
They will not be by Him denied,
His light will make their darkness fair.
Yet all things find their fount in Him:
And nearing to the sunrise breath
Shine jewelled like the seraphim.
