Sabbaths 1999 VII (Monday Poem)

 by Wendell Berry


We travelers, walking to the sun, can't see
Ahead, but looking back the very light
That blinded us shows us the way we came,
Along which blessings now appear, risen
As if from sightlessness to sight, and we,
By blessing brightly lit, keep going toward
The blessed light that yet to us is dark.
 
 
from This Day: Collected & New Sabbath Poems by Wendell Berry
Counterpoint, 2013
