I would welcome the lightning striking the tower ...

This was the last day of the year -

I counted my heartbeats - 

I remembered the cards cast for me - 

I would cross the bridge although I was afraid - 

I would reach out with my prayers in sacred places -

The sea would sing beneath the chapel on the hill - 

The water of the spring would flow over ancient stones - 

I would welcome the lightning striking the tower -
