Little And Large Poem by David Taylor

as little by little I wake my sleep
and by the graveyard keep
watch by moon and stars and wind
for us that wait and we that sinned

little by little I dream my dream
and walk the path and speak what seems
and never by the night or day
I say my speak and mean my say

you came in sounds with meaning still
before I came to add my fill
little by little I lost my speak
learned to see what words can mean

in silence meaning is
large in little, large in large
as little by large you wake my sleep
my voice is gone and alone You speak

rain wets sponges rocks
flowers smile and stars sing
sunlight flows through dark
I say meaning, You speak my say
large in large, in night, in day;
darkness ends:
