Vigil by Lee Garrett Tuesday, May 27, 2003 Share Print Save Become a Fan
Across a curved continuum light becomes your envoy. My eyes distill your essence-- Electric pulses in my brain create an image that dominates the tissues of reason. You find my hidden heart, within its warding walls. I am helpless, captive-- tortured by hope. You stir the ashes of longing, A small fire is kindeled on the battlements where proud banners ride the winds of change I am the eternal sentinel, Guarding a private darkness. I have waited ages for the dawn— for the daystar— and here you are— passing the gates of my soul.
