REVELATION, by                 Poet's Biography
First Line: We make ourselves a place apart
Last Line: Must speak and tell us where they are.
Subject(s): Bible; Religion; Theology


WE make ourselves a place apart
Behind light words that tease and flout,
But oh, the agitated heart
Till someone find us really out.

'Tis pity if the case require
(Or so we say) that in the end
We speak the literal to inspire
The understanding of a friend.

But so with all, from babes that play
At hide-and-seek to God afar,
So all who hide too well away
Must speak and tell us where they are.
