The poem A Prayer to Adam exemplifies many of his approaches to a poetic spirituality: Muse of names,/ Help us to know/ What we cannot name./ Gardener of paradise,/ Help us grow upright/ With the modesty/ Of plants that find/ Freedom in their lack/ Of choices, and thrive./ Father of death,/ Help us to live/ With our dying/ So that we may find/ Ourselves walking back/ Down a path we forgot,/ Towards a field/ Here on earth/ Where the sun is/ So bright and clear/ Even the dullest sparrow/ Is seen in the richness/ Of its browns and grays/ The streaks on its breast/ Numbered in our sight. Common Life is full of beauty and courage and hope against despair. It is poetry for our time.
