HYMNALAYA

Well, I thought I knew the rule

to make the world follow my lead

to make shapes and sounds and turn all things around.

Well, I thought I knew the rule



then I thought I knew the words

to make the hand of God follow

all my wants and wishing and all that is shallow

well, I thought I knew the words.



the hand of God

will not follow

the form that I have made

to know that I am not in charge

seems to be



the greatest wisdom of all.
