In this special feature of our issue today, we are running “To Love’s Long Last,” a poem selected from Michael Finch’s new collection of poetry, Finding Home.

To Love’s Long Last

Darkening mist envelops all;
Valley shrouded in gathering fear.
Light escapes out hopeful’s door;
Love’s lost down forbidden paths.
But despair not, for in darkness depth

Seen rising from the valley floor,
Comes a light sent from on high.
Shimmering white, moonlight-reflected,
Beauty and splendor, glittering bright,
Brilliant, and warm, a beacon to my heart.

Comfort me in your highest reaches,
Warm me in your gentle slopes.
Lead me to your open meadow,
Guide me with your mild graces.
Thank you, for your permitting heart.

Mountain, clear-blue crystal,
Deep-sapphire rich,
Alight with God’s touch,
Calls me to my knees
And open my heart to her.

When all is done, I have one final wish—
When life’s song is forever gone,
Faded from our distant breach,
end me to sky’s deep blue
And hold me tight, so dear.
