The Night Of Eternal Light
My eyes are closed
to shield myself
from all that burns
when I dream
Through the acrid smoke
into the heart
of the darkest soul
I can see
In your finest hour
share your last breath
with the setting sun
then come dance with me
Fight the wrath of time
as a never ending spirit
that yearns to be reborn
and lives to break free
These eyes empty and glazed
this skin pale and cold
this long dead heart
exists as a shadowed memory

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
