In my vast little darkness
what is that, dim and moving?
A divine child blooms within.
O rose-dawning, O splendor,
O nebula unfurling,
how small you begin!
How might I tend you, little one
who has chosen me?
How might I adore?
How do I bear you, Infinite Love,
tender Life-Longing,
unfolding in me?
How do I become your enclosure,
your safe passage,
an opening for you?
How shall we raise you up,
set you on your way
to live your own life?
