We Love

about trees: past is never tall enough,
future too tall. Another spring will tell.

Tell another spring
I will be there, and fairer.

I become myself
that throat of swan
that striding giant I decree myself.

We love: in trees, in us, how many die
forward on the blade.
I see men like forests
striding, like swans riding, always
royally: though lowly afoot, striding into death

What we love: there are no blades enough (Fr. Daniel J. Berrigan)
