Escape Mourned

Escape Mourned

To escape is to find

What was suffered as Lost:

To feel what grew in Mind

And to mind what’s felt most

To be mindful for Feelings,

Released in Control –

That’s the fiery Deal that is

Here to call!..

And to where escape –

Into Morning or Night –

Let decide flying Shape

Of ray burning of Light

That for Bearers born

First appear or last:

Let his Breath be adorned

In the Silence of Karst:

Silence, filled with unheard

Cries, and Ramble, and Groans,

Karst, where echoing Word

Hits through Evenings and Dawns,

Premonitions and Fears,

There wait to be turned

Into what will be Dear

For the Greeted – not Mourned!..
