How sweet to know there is no death,
Not in the heart, that is…
A breath
Of shaken longing and you come
To company me.
And I am dumb
With this bright knowledge
Certain … sure…
This then is deathless —
Does endure!
Release
The bird in my breast
That long had lain
Ruffled of feather,
Drenched with rain,
Rises to fly.
You've set him free
To sing himself
Right out of me!
