    To love the world because

    Help us to love
    the world, here

    where I am,
    where I brought

    you unsoiled —
    a lamb licked

    clean of after-
    birth, not given

    to bleating
    complaints

    of soured milk
    or tough tufts

    of moor grass
    turned silvery

    inflorescences —
    into a kingdom

    of mighty rams
    desperate for you

    and power.
    Bequeath us not

    the arched blade
    sharply etched,

    nor even your crown
    of gold that shall

    light our path
    through this world

    to you. But leave
    us in love

    to love the world
    because . . . .

      What a beautiful poem, Maureen. Especially loved these images/words and want to keep them in my pocket today—

      “moor grass
      turned silvery

      inflorescences —”
