Classic Poem

Heart and brain,
Joy and pain,
Out of nothingness have come.
All our knowing,
Hearing, seeing,
Is a flowing into being
Of the formless and the dumb. …
All our knowing,
Hearing, seeing,
Or of song, or star, or clod,
Is a flaming and a flowing,
Is a blossoming and growing,
Of the Heart and Mind of God.
