This Much Love by David Sutherland

This Much Love
by David Sutherland

^. Sunrise's sunset's light can be sung
^. By a choir's inspired voice
^. Its verger of sound carried as high
^. As the jetty of steeple or ridge,
^. But it is the listener's measured empathy
^. Of thought to masterpiece, indeterminacy,
^. And affections that hazard its intention,
^. Like an atom; smallest chemistry in unity
^. Trapped in the eye, taken as moon or sun
^. The heavy roll of thunder echoes in each
^. Footfall as love masters its reflection
^. In cello at sunrise, octave at sunset,
^. Adjusts chord and tempo and range
^. Determines this much is enough.
