AS STEALS THE SUN ACROSS THE DAY,
absconding with my tears and heart,
my pilot-mind I let float me away
to deeper, inner-realms apart.
Pedestrian motives cannot touch
the what and where that I create.
Not Solitude, but I approach
a lovely, joyous raptured state.
I do not see what I reach toward,
but I am drawn inexorably on
by forces which know not a word
except as spoken in Love's tone;
the throat whence freely cadences forth
the scintillating voice of my Salphire's heart.
