I SENT HER DOWN

I sent her down to the chuckling streams
filled with faint mirages and dreams
where no one could see her or teach her---
due entirely to my arrogant despair,
who loved her and loved her and loved her---
curled about with her yellow hair.
And no part that was small
(when we break reality down)
can know the larger part at all.
How is it possible?
It is unbelievable and odd
to think a molecule or drop of light
could get the larger picture right,
without design of an all-seeing God.
How can this picturesque scene,
the lights and houses like a painting or a dream,
far from the harsh, the bare, the mean,
be atoms, bee-like and unseen?
If the infinitely small
is the reality behind it all
how can the beauty of the larger we see
be anything but a God who dreams like me---
but so beyond my expertise
I fall with tears in joy to my knees?
I sent her down to chuckling streams.
Beware others' dreams.
Every child has dreams enough.
There is no wisdom. There is no love.
