Stay and watch with me
O Gentle Emmanuel
In the depth of my spirit
Though I can only see your face
Through your obtuse glass
The mysteries and playthings of God
The dark stars and spheres
and the freshness of life

Stay with me my vigorous light
(travelling faster than matter)
Touch me
Enclose my wound with yours
In the midst of your Word
And the four quarters of the world
Join my voice
To sing your praises
Renew within my sacred breath
Those things
That are concealed
In my soul residing
A little nook
In your ravishing heart

Gather my thoughts
Construct my plan
To think yours
Receive within my breakings
Reconnect
With your essence
And harmonies
Letting go of the seed in the
ground

Exchange
With my agonies
Your love
In the centre
Of my being
