WEST REQUEST

 WEST REQUEST

Let me go down

with the sun,

and the moon,

and the evening star—

the sun midst  russet and rose,

the moon in radiant gold,

the star in luminous silver.

For they will rise again

in brightest light,

and me miniscule,

I will be with them

unseen but there

infinitesmal  integer  

in the wondrous

oneness of nature.
