family poem

long has the summer sunlight shone
who is the runner in the skies
i never knew the earth had so much gold
the meadow was creeping
i go my way complacently
i am in love with high far-seeing places
a gleam of gold in gloom and gray
for i was a gaunt, grave councillor
when the wind works against us in the dark
for truth, for love
you say you love me
i flung my soul to the air like a falcon flying
little gate was reached at last
there is no flock, however watched and tended
