A Merton Poem

When psalms surprise me with their music

And antiphons turn to rum

The Spirit sings; the bottom drops out of my soul.

 

And from the center of my cellar, Love,

louder than thunder

Opens a heaven of naked air.

 

New eyes awaken.

 

I send Love's name into the world with wings

And songs grow up around me like a jungle.

Choirs of all creatures sing the tunes

Your Spirit played in Eden.

 

Thomas Merton.

a fairy bath
