When You...

Life's grim story

is swept with rainbow lights when you draw near,

A singular and inescapable glory

Comes from the sun when thoughts of you are here,

Your presence is not anything, or not much -

But when your dreams come whispering to my doors

I leave my crumbling house - lift wings - and fly

Across the star spangled sky.

If you go out of my world 

It will be a dim world you leave behind.

So....

...to us...who are beyond all loves and wars

...to us...who keep no faithfulness of trust

In anything but sea-winds and wild stars.

Could life be nothing and our dreams be all?
