Holding  Service

Don Hynes

June 6, 2021

The past lies sleeping

in the quiet earth,

as day unfurls

on a still sea.

To the evergreen

and juniper

the future will be

without troubling

the moment,

and I find my place

in the green world,

sentient and conscious

of what I bring

to the chapel

of the pure heart,

holding service

in the bright light

of morning.
