Text: I write this poem out of darkness to you who are also in darkness because our lives demand it. This poem is a hand on your shoulder a bone touch to go with you through the hard birth of vision. In other words, love shapes this poem is the fist that holds the chisel, muscle that drags marble and burns with the weight of believing a face lives in the stone a breathing word in the body. I tell you though the darkness has been ours words will give us give our eyes, opened in promise a growing light. Copyright 1994 by George Ella Lyon. Reprinted by permission of the author.
