Light

There is a deep obscuring mesh

that covers me as earthy flesh

I yearn to know, to hold, to seek

the endless secrets that you keep


Does not a sailor's ocean way

Dream as you yield your yesterday

To gaze in light that's travelled far

ancient light of distant star


I look up now in earthly plea

and drink your eldest hungrily

Time and space bend paths you pave

perhaps they, too, your secrets crave


Hold me now in starry light

of deepest blue I see tonight

I realize now through poem penned

to beg your truth I am condemned
