In the Face of Splendor - Kristy Hellum

[Larry Robinson]

In the Face of Splendor


Take your grief seriously 

Become the ash urn

For the vanishing wilderness

Despair for the Dolphins 

Make your own salt water

for the disappearing marshes.

The silent Earth is listening. 

Be called to outrageous acts of despair



And then,

every now and again,

In the face of splendor,


Turn towards it.
