Hound of Heaven Hymns - eggs in the basket

Poetry list

eggs in the basket

how many eggs
all
all of them
that is the
extravagance
and heady
madness of
love take
them all all
that I am
I give to you
it is the
greatest leap
of joy and
there is no
soft landing
where are the
eggs where
am I the
love and the
eggs are still
all yours
living the
answer is
as impossible
as the
question save
for the knowing
below the
senses and
the sensate
realm
what new
life is
promised
the egg
will hatch

that is
what the
empty
silence
says
