From the Empirical Archives: Within the Going by Peggy Alysworth

Within the Going

Peggy Alysworth

Originally published in the December 2012 issue of Empirical

I am where your life isn’t

and yet is,

driving across the world,

eternity at the wheel.

Long, long sky,

raw land,

someone always looking

for the Father

and the Son

of antique earth.

Children are crying

in the land. The baby

coming into his soul through tears

but not of sadness.

Adam was suckled and taught to know.

I wake from the fire into radiance.
