In the waving of the corn

Ronald Tirino 1962 (NYC)

In the waving of the corn

In waves of corn maturing
Within the fields of wheat

Anguished crosses
of which we bare
to truth needs telling
before life’s alters comming

Silence broken before its dawn
freed its travelers in
well of thirsty burning
released anew in their callings

Destinations that are to come
still half dreaming yet still awake
hearts restored within
life’s beginnings

Distilled and pure
candles glowing shadows cast
wavering light gently flickers
peace unfolding within its past
