Before the golden leaves turned to white Before the flight of the winter moon Before the sifted ash through heaven's grate Across the interstate, was wildly strewn Before the swirling black November night The highway lights began to bloom I saw You moving with my waking eyes Roaming the eastern skies What is man, that he should bear Your name A storm-swept temple, raging fire untamed Before the gray goose took her final flight Into the night, on silver-speckled wings Before the family drove to Grandma's house Away down south to pack away her things All of the stories she wrote in youth Of love and truth, and summer days I see before her now, in the waking age An open field, an empty page Who is she, carries so well Your love The wildflower, descending dove All of us, bearers of a royal name A violent beauty, the Lion's flowing mane
