God, you reveal yourself so sparingly!—
a fleeting suspicion, a rising tide in me,
a wisp of interstellar dust, a scent,
a half-emerging thought, a leaning within,
a clarity that veils itself,
shy dancer in the dark,
a light out of the corner of my eye—
but not there now—
hope wearing a chador.
And yet: a continent of green things,
beauty generously outpoured,
the faithfulness of gravity,
the intricate weave of all living things,
the heart’s capacity to love and to forgive,
those I could name for hours who have cared—
God, you reveal yourself so abundantly!
