New-born Ecstasy

When I resolve to come to You

Amid the chunks and cracks

Of all my mundane days-

When I resolve to listen

Really listen to Your gentle voice

Suddenly I know anew

That You are life

And life is joy!

Like a singing brook

Joy splashes over

All the common “dailies”

Until each empty space

Of my hungry heart

Is touched with new-born ecstasy.
