A Prayer in Darkness
In this world of uncertainty,
In this darkness, stark and impenetrable,
...
Like the focus of an electronic torch,
Your rays bathe me in a steady glow,
Bringing globules of health, happiness, prosperity—
Love, success, and power flow.
...
A whirlpool
And the spinning of the dead leaf,
For a moment, ecstasy, warmth;
...
She is the shade of a tree cold and profound,
She is every herb to my aching wound.
She dabs my forehead, putting in her lap
And her lap's warmth gives me a cozy nap.
...
In gardens of innocence, she blooms
A delicate flower, with a tender perfume
Her laughter echoes, like a gentle stream
But shadows creep, with a sinister scheme
...
