The Last Secret by Helen Adam

Grains of Sand Sing What is the holy secret this planet hides? That the race of man has forgotten, or dare not guess? Queen of Cups Answers It is something to do with silence and loneliness, Something to do with sunlight and idleness. Something dying that lives only to bless! But I have forgotten, forgotten, or dare not guess. Grains of Sand Sing Something to do with sunlight and loneliness, Something to do with silence and idleness. A holy and hidden secret powerful to bless! We have all forgotten, forgotten or dare not guess. Queen of Cups Nothing to do with striving against one's fate Nothing to do with raging in love or hate. There is a secret calm as the evening sky Empty of clouds when the first star trembles high. Grains of Sand What is the holy secret this planet hides? A child may find it at last by the deep sea tides, Or in some meadow at dusk exploring alone The House of the Broken Heart, or the haunted stone. Queen of Cups It has something to do with silence and idleness More than a little to do with loneliness. A holy and hidden secret powerful to bless, Answering all Earth's prayers with one word "Yes!"
- from Women of the Beat Generation, Brenda Knight (Conari Press, 1996)
