A Kind of Love Song
in the Dark


Image coutesy of Corbis

    I will find my way to you
    and to the countervailing tempos of our lives.
    You bubble, effervesce, at times extravasate,
    gifted as you are with ceaseless anima.
    Your flame burns bright with fixed intensity:

    Unlike your light, I glow and flicker
    in the tenebrous shrine of inward self.
    Yet I have constancy and warmth;

    my tapered thoughts
    are long and still
    and lead me to my chambered center
    where a more effulgent light engulfs us both
