The World — but grey and flat-dimensioned space
Of "oneself"s and "I"s trudging foreign streets;
So crowded, so alone in self-embrace —
Until Love’s power hidden fears defeats.
Till its refulgent glow dispels the dark
As it warms, comforts; banishes the tears
Of loneliness and strife; it spells its mark
Upon a soul, the pining heart it sears.
What pain to pay in overdue return
For the comfort of Love’s radiant light;
But the pain so dims in the twilight burn
Eons hence in acceptance of the plight:
In ecstasy to grasp Love’s edge of knife,
This searing, fragile filament of Life.

Thank you, ARH. The energy between two living 'posts'...all that's needed is the 'current'.
