Where Does the Eye Meet the Sky?
See the children of anew
Bracing play on a frame
Of something forever holy.
Whence does the storm arrive
To appeal a risker’s vision?
North, east, south, west, from God?
From then, with sights set yonder
Over forked winds
Of great seas.
Where does the eye meet the sky,
After the cattle lie to rest
In the fields of foretelling?
Beyond the power
Of one man
And all men.
To be hindered
By the curious fruit of the mind:
Life’s great meaning.
The place where the sights do not reach
May be the destination
For which all search.
Through storms, none can be seen,
So the desperate prayers send
To be saved by the Ark.
Henceforth, a blind hunt
For the ponder:
Where does the eye meet the sky?
