Remembrance (the Lord's Ode)

remember me in totality
as a brave idea
an eternal antagonist of fear
armed with the sword of the King who sits on the throne.

when the absence of strength persuades you to follow
remember me in totality

as the unmistakable coming
of that which the prophet spoke
to the ennobled glory of the day
and the abounding reverence of the night


unfailingly...remember me
