Poem: Song of the Child with Simeon

Simeon with the Christ Child in the Temple by Rembrandt

Song of the Child with Simeon

Whose are those dimmed eyes I see?
I feel safe, held well,
By a warm, deep, growling voice.

I cannot quite focus on this person,
But I know he is about to be born-

Not like I am now,
but into a greater whole.

Go well old man,

Adieu!

Go towards the Light!
