Antiphony

Where is the light?
The light is here.
Can we not see the light?
It is hidden from us.
Why is the light so hidden?
We are from darkness drawn.
Is there no hope?
Yes, there is hope.
Can we reach forth?
It is only given.
When is the gift?
On death, on death.

by Lorna Bain — December 29th, 1985
