- faint of heart
It is so uncompromising
It demands of us-
All of us
It takes no prisoners-
It takes us all prisoner
It is maybe something
We should have
None of-
It is maybe
Why
We are here
The rest of life runs
Before it-
Runs
From it-
It is
A mystery
The beloved appears
From nowhere
And steals our heart
And our sanity
We don't know why,
-we have little choice
In the matter
There are lessons here
Things to do
Something wonderful-
to begin
To get out of
Our own
Way
