(from 1995)
.
Would it not be
a greater love
to silence keep,
to hide one’s heart
when it is fettered
sneaking past
those greater dreams,
pretending not to see?
.
Would it not be
a greater care
to journey on
in quiet prayer
that none be wounded
by rogue passion,
nor be caught
in love’s untimely heat?
