FEAVERED

Fertile mind doth barren flesh
persue.
And as a flame of darkness burning now --

I from my bed of pain arise
And seek
and stare with blind eyes.

As if my dream of you I'd find
in some dark shadow --
brightness, kind.

Sweet physician, dark and fair,
Flies my burdened soul to you.
And strive to stay and enter there --

And some entwined communion
to sustain --
This "self" of mine can find no gain.

~ Ms. JH
