Читать книгу Psalms for the Poor - Kent Gramm - Страница 10

Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed

Pure awe is incompatible with sin.

Just try to sin when you have put your nicest

Aurora Borealis on, Orion’s

favorite, and wait for him to notice.

Ah, what can we do but our best? Work well,

try to be sane and healthy, try to love.

And when the daily infinite feels stale,

when you have nothing worth saving to save,

then commune with your heart upon your bed.

Consider the heart. It is everything.

Once Orion was a man, it is said,

like any other man. He heard you sing,

was the lucky difference. He stood in awe

until his heart became a field of stars.
