Into the tendings, strange,
     of timeless people
on their war, gem, dream,
     and paper path
down see, up rock,
     toward brightly stoic steeple;
from death, hate, love, peace, holy
purpose, tenderness and wrath,
with candlelight and bulb
     in wageless hope,
dimly lit down whirling
     conscious haze
along the pebbles
     of the ebb-tide slope,
