held

Thrush song, stream song, holy love 
That flows through earthly forms and folds, 
The song of Heaven's Sabbath fleshed 
In throat and ear, in stream and stone, 
A grace living here as we live, 
Move my mind now to that which holds 
Things as they change.
Wendell Berry, from "Sabbath 1982, IV". A Timbered Choir: The Sabbath Poems 1979-1997. New York: Counterpoint. 43.
