the Inspiration
Text
As the rain hides the stars,
as the autumn mist hides the hills,
as the clouds veil the blue of the sky,
so the dark happenings of my lot
hide your shining face from me.
Yet, if I may hold your hand
in the darkness,
it is enough,
though I may stumble in my going,
you do not fall.
