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.
...
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.
...
A whirlpool
And the spinning of the dead leaf,
For a moment, ecstasy, warmth;
...
Some dead are alive,
Some alive are dead,
And some are thoughtless.
Some graves under the tree of morality
...
