What should I say,
what oft' repeated open vein-

of sorrows that remain in every breath
catching in my throat with overuse…
of questing eyes that spin to every shadow
thinking I might catch a glimpse of you…
of voice, selected phrase and nuance
ripe with your inflection, basal sound…
of emptiness that threatens me with dark,
a known illusion's foul oblivion.

But even still,
through every one of those-

the ever present sense of light
streams over me and will not be denied…
the wind's caress that leads this wanderer home
to truth that glistens on all I believe…
the clouds aloft that sail before my eyes,
absorbing heart-drenched pain and moves away...
the song that arcs in freedom as it flies
and rises, tender swoon of sacred love...

All a part and parcel of my life
the fall of night and morning's gentle rise.

Such deep emotion in these wonderful lines!
