1 Corinthians 13:12

The Dark Crystal

The Dark Crystal

x

I simply thought of glass

A piece of glass

Dark purple or some such

Through which to see

Thus darkly

That

Like the shadows in the cave

Is all we get

For now

x

But Saint Paul

Might have meant

A mirror

For a glass

As it were

A looking glass

That has those dots of age

All around

And in the middle

x

We try to see ourselves

We can’t

Maybe when we’ve grown so far

No

Not even then

x

The glass is cleared

At last

By faith and love

And maybe transformation

So that maybe

We are ready

With new eyes

More than our senses

Or clarified

So that

All things look new

In truth

Discovery

And life

1 Corinthians 13:12

12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

Habilin

Habilin

 

A golden ring

A sword by a lady

Genie in the lamp

 

Silver kept by first

People before

John Reed could

Claim the hero’s

Steed

 

Who keeps the

Holy Grail?  Who

Killed Cock Robin

 

And, more soberly,

Black Dahlia?

 

Where is Jimmy

Hoffa?  Where

Did D. B. Cooper

Fall?   What

Happened to the

Mary Celeste

And Flight 19?

 

And where is the

Key to my hidden

Heart?

 

I don’t know

Much about holy

Relics, enigmatic

Personages,

Famous mysteries;

 

About secrets,

Well, I’ve kept a

Few—I’d rather

Not have had to

 

To children,

Secrets make

Innocent mischief;

 

Later, for safety

Sake, they might

Be exigent even

Into years

 

But, finally,

When the glass

Is no longer

Darkly, when we

Shall see with

Clarity

 

And all shall be

Known face to

Face,

 

On that day I

Shall be

Relieved, for

Heavy chore

Has been

Reliving secrets

 

 

(First Corinthians 13:12)
