Keep Thinking

I said to the man

 who stood at the gate of the year,

  'Give me a light that I may tread safely

  into the unknown.'

 

  And he replied ,

  'Go out into the darkness and

put your hand into the hand of God.

  That shall be to you

 

  better than light

  and safer than a known way !'

 

So I went forth

 and finding the Hand of God,

 trod gladly into the night .

 And he led me towards the hills

 and the breaking of day in the lone East.
