Within
In the tall grass a circle
On the soft grass
There lay a rock
Under the rock there was a snake
Within the snake there was a mouse
Around the snake crawled the ants
Above it all stood a man
Within the man were thoughts
Upon his heart were troubles
For the grass smelled sweet
But the snake had poison
The mouse was dead
But the ants were earnest
Through it all there was an order
About it all there was a glow Outside of everything
There is
Christ
