Cold And Hot to Fog
Keep my perspectives clear oh Lord
In the courage of faith forward.
Keep my heart aware of your love
To forge me deeply onward.
I cannot grasp the state of my soul
Whether to glory’s deepening or death
Thy trials are fog to my judgement
Love blown warm then cold as winters breath.
Bring me to the clearing of the forest
Where neither pines nor poplars hide the son
And the lakes run clear to the shores
And open paths in the open run.
Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.
Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
