A Blessing from Panama

I moved the bricks and looked into the heart
But I could not release what I saw
Without a blessing from Panama.

Who should be given so great a task
Surely there’s someone else could be asked
With a blessing from Panama.

Whether it’s just or whether it’s not
Who can argue with what has been taught
In a blessing from Panama
.
Three spirits confirmed what others could not
That I was the one who saw
And I had the blessing from Panama.

The first of these spirits was radiant white
Strong, at peace, a perfect delight.
Truly a blessing from Panama
.
The second was bolder and darker as well
Defending me for what I saw
With a blessing from Panama.

The third was light
Too bright for the eyes
Without a blessing from Panama.

These are the spirits behind the brick
These are the spirits I saw
With a blessing from Panama.
