Nothing So Wise
Jeanne Lohmann
There is nothing so wise as a circle. -Rilke
The arc of an egg
bends hands
to shape prayer,
the shell
unbroken,
the heavy yolk
floating.
Our fingers
curving always
inward, become a cup,
an open bowl.
Prayer is
circumference
we may not
reach around,
space for all we cannot hold,
the rim of Love toward which we lean.
