I am caught

    I am caught

     I am caught in 

    Life's silken cords, connecting all
    heart to heart,
    lit with passion
    and the overwhelming need
    to burn a flaring path through the Heavens.

    How can I let the Gods know
    that I have passed this way --
    Insignificant, with a mountain of yearning

    To glimpse the doorsteps of Their homes
    and witness the taste of Their love?

    I fold beneath the vast distance
    between soul and body,

    Holding no more
    A torch for love.

    Is it strength that shoulders me,
    Or foolish hope?
