"Openings"
OPENINGS Now is the shining fabric of our day Torn open, flung apart, rent wide by love. Never again the tight, enclosing sky, The blue bowl or star-illumined tent. We are laid open to infinity For Easter love has burst his tomb and ours. Now nothing shelters us from God's desire - Not flesh, not sky, not stars, not even sin. Now glory waits so He can enter in. Now does the dance begin. - Elizabeth Rooney, as collected in A WIDENING LIGHT: POEMS OF THE INCARNATION, edited by Luci Shaw, Harold Shaw Publishers (1984), Third printing by Regent College Publishing, 1997.
