The Gate of the Year

And I said to the man who stood at the Gate of the Year:

“Give me a light that I might tread safely into the unknown.”

And he replied:

“Go out into the darkness and put your hand 

into the Hand of God.

That to you shall be better than light 

and safer than a known way.”

So I went forth, and finding the Hand of God,

trod gladly into the night.

And He led me towards the hills 

and the breaking of day in the lone East.
