Deep In Silence

Making all these decisions, contemplating, wondering where they'll all lead

Christmas In India
Dim dawn behind the tamerisks-the sky is saffron-yellow-
As the women in the village grind the corn,
And the parrots seek the riverside, each calling to his fellow
That the Day, the staring Easter Day is born.

That fled to the mountains, and tops of trees, for refuge.

And in the corner away from the hearth, the red wheels
Of an up-ended chariot slowly turn.
