Gazing at the cold grey of its face
Whence no recognition shines,
The warmth lies within,
The burning warmth of a life
That, caressing, would be born
In my hands.
Rock, these are human hands
That would shape you,
You who have stood
Shapeless on the shore of Time
For years. Your hardness with this steel
Will I pierce. Soon you will,
Awakening beneath its thrill, repent,
Reveal the truth of your face intent,
Rise from your rock-sleep
And stand.
Rock, in your nerves you have felt
A shock. The living current from my arm
You have drunk. As from a storm
You reeled, but are warm.
Rock, you have been pierced
By this steel, You have in your fierce, cold heart
Felt death. But I have breathed on you
With my breath and you live.
You, coldest rock, will live
Drinking life from the warmth of these hands.
