Exhortation and Benediction

John H Crook

Exhortation

Nothing matters

and everything must go        

Yet love is having the heart touched

in the valleys of suffering.

Benediction

Peace, quiet joy,

Servants of Silence,

Ordinary grey rocks of the mountain

In whom deep waters run

On whom by night the moon

By day the Sun.
