the young girl gazes

at the dark still waters

of Siloe

her smile reflects the ecstasy

of her surprise —

surprise at her young self,

surprise at God,

at children, priests, camel-sellers,

camel-dung checkers, donkeys

and all the Temple turmoil

of being NOW and being alive —

she feels the calm of that full-shading love

that wraps her round

and in the shadow of this deep content

she knows what God's own power could do in her

at the appointed hour
