Once, when I looked
At “Things Unseen”
I saw Them not –
No in-between
For things that They
Said "stood in Light"
Were just as they
Had been to sight
And time and time,
And time again:
No, nothing new,
That had not been…
I felt the Sun
Upon my back,
But couldn’t turn
Away from black
---
But when I turned
(So unforeseen!),
I saw Him there!
And what a scene!
For things that They
Said "stood in Light"
Were just as they
Now were to sight!
Oh, time and time,
And time again,
My eyes had hid
In darkness’ dim…
I'd felt the Sun
Upon my back,
But now I’m turned
Away from black.
