The Winds of Wonder

Because I Cannot

Because I cannot reach your sky,

Your winged ecstasies

Brought to me its blue

Whose creative silence

Is now the river’s song.

Because I cannot know your soul,

O indefinable Muse,

You kindled fiery passions

Of a gold-and topaz flame

With the infinite’s fire.

Because I cannot hold in my heart

The magic of your smile,

You put in it a drop of desire

And fostered it with love

That which wins all grace.
