Sometimes an imaginary window will do/when there appears no way forward/a finely sketched imaginary window trimmed with flowers/swings in your heart/open/lets dreams in and out/nightmares travel on its hinge/sends the possibility of salvation on the wing

Children remember incandescent joy/though may forget as time steals laughter/the hedge we build around them/the hedge of prayer/the hedge of care/may that fierce hedge be infused with memories of carefree joy/these fortifications against the careening juggernaut of ordinary sorrow
